Gee ..... What is this parade of fish supposed to mean? Does it perhaps have a symbolic meaning (which unfortunately escapes me)? Or is it the effect of an excess of a good bavarian beer?

Not too long ago you told me the English language was inaccurate. I found this example of precision.
Singular: fish
Plural: fish (unchanged)
Plural for multiple different kinds: fishes
Surely cannot express that difference with two letters in German.
Singular: Fisch
Plural: Fische
Multiple different kinds: ??? Fischarten (Arten → kinds)
pesce, pesci, ???

I did not know that fish was also used as a plural noun: I never stop learning. 
However, I still believe that english is an imprecise language (this is not to say that it is a flaw); for example, the fact that "you" can have both plural and singular value can cause great confusion in a speech. Or some verbs that in the present and past tense don't change (e.g. to read).

I guess every language has some inaccuracies.
Maybe a linguist could express that way better.
Also (completely forgot this yesterday):
I never drink beer. Doesn't taste good and the breath smells awful.
When drinking alcoholic beverages it is wine or booze for me.

I also prefer (red) wine
during meal, white one only if sweet (spumante) accompanied with dessert.
When you drink wine I recommend that it be possibly italian.
Speaking of booze, I advise you to avoid it as much as possible.

Why avoid booze? Nothing like a good whisky.

Hmmhm? Another "" without explanation?
Please, what is wrong with drinking a bit of whisky? I'm not an alcoholic or whatever.

Spirits (we call them super-alcoholics, I don't know the exact english term) are much stronger and more easily addictive than wine and beer: and they should not be taken at all if you are using psychotropic meds.

"and more easily addictive than wine and beer"
What the…? It is literally the same thing, just concentrated. Me becoming addicted to ethanol is pretty unlikely since it didn't happen in decades and my usage declined as the years went by.
If I'd drink beer until I get any alcohol effects, I'll better not leave the bathroom. The excess water has to leave the body again… (in addition to diuretic effect of alcohol).

Thou shall not mix any meds with any alcoholic beverages! Give me a break. My grandfather had a severe heart attack in 1990. The doctors told him after the operation: "Loose weight, don't eat this, don't do that, no alcohol… else you'll be dead in two years."
Well… he didn't listen and… †2008

I'm 100% certain, that the passionate eater would have died in less than a year if he followed the scientific and medical advise. He lived happy and pretty healthy until the end (second heart attack and that was it). Dead almost instantly… just like he wished.

I have no objection to that. You always have the answer ready, and you always want to have the last word. Beyond words, reasoning and logic, you should also notice the good intentions of the interlocutor and his sense of human solidarity.
