Yeah, but point being, that's an extreme.  It stands to reason one
shouldn't try to swim across the lake after thanksgiving dinner.  The
version of the message when I was a kid was "eat a cracker before hitting
the pool and you'll cramp up and sink like a stone."

It's all about moderation, no?  Not too much water, not too much salt, not
too much food before the pool, yadda yadda. Are there any times when
moderation ISN'T the answer?
