They have wine in my church, Ian!

Seriously, watch the deep breathing: after two or three you'll be hyperventilating, and that's not good for you. Try this yoga thing: take a slow d-e-e-p breath with your chest, not your diaphragm (this will lift your ribs and your shoulders); hold it for a couple of seconds, then let it out s-l-o-w-l-y ... feel your shoulders sinking--all your tension will fall away, you can feel it going; then do it all over again (no more than two breaths total). Try it right now--it really works!
