Yes, I have a fine line to walk. Alcohol thins the blood while Green veggies thicken it. Besides alcohol being on my list of things I can't have, one of my faves, broccoli, is a no-no. Too thick blood will cause the valve to stick and a fatal heart attack. We had a long discussion. Like alcohol, I can have my green veggies in moderation. I thought for a moment and said, "since they cancel each other out, how about I have a beer when I eat broccoli." My wife didn't like the idea, because she knew I'd fan the blanket on her.
