If chocolate counts as one of my 5-a-day, does the gin and tonic I just drank count as another?

I always count my wine as a fistful of grapes ...

Let's see. A big fruit pod, a bunch of grapes, some tree bark, a citrus fruit wedge, and juniper berries. Yup, all very healthy vegetables and /or fruits. We're all doing good!

Counts just as much as a cup of coffee or tea...
