   Does coffee or tea count as water?
2. The great Apostle Paul of the New Testament told Timothy to "drinka little wine for the stomach's sake.
   " I am not advocating that you take up drinking if you do not drink, but if you are going to drink alcohol, watch what and how much you drink.
   If you do not drink alcohol, do not start! If you do, drink red wine in moderation (2 glasses a day maximum).
