My brother recently had some sushi and contracted a stomach ache that lingered
for days.  Finally, after resisting 'imbibing' for quite some time, he gave
into his body's instincts and had some wine and some beer.  After that, he
reported, he felt fine.

Sound like confirmation?

It's a mystery to me, but it made him feel better.  What can I say to that?
