Talk about anything but keep it polite and reasonably clean.

“Port rehab†! Fantastic idea from A Good Nose. What happens in Port rehab? Are VP addicts re-introduced to tawny? Are Americans gradually weened away from infant vintages to the real thing? Please, in this thread post suggestions as to the workings of Port rehab.

I believe that the first step in port rehab would be to remove from the patient all collapsible funnels hidden about their person.

Corkscrews? Tongs? Coffee filters? Sabres? Wooden boxes containing a single glass of a preferred shape? Red checked shirts? Yes, those too.

I think you guys are getting it backwards... my reading is that "Port Rehab" means "Drink More Port!"

Absolutely yes. But only under proper medical supervision. No more spontaneous help-yourself pop-and-pour type sloppiness.

Does one of the Port rehab steps involve visiting the Porcelain god ?

I believe that Port Rehab is designed to help you avoid visits to the Porceline god.
Though as it turns out, my stamina is better than I thought. I have now managed to quaff roughly half a bottle twice in the same weekend. So while I am clearly not as adept as others here, I can do better than I expected.
