You made me laugh.
Laughter is a gift, thanks for the gifg.
Or if you’re a big guy, 2-3 drinks 2-3 times a week isn’t much at all. A glass of wine with dinner, as this study suggests, isn’t gonna kill you.
Nobody considers a pint of wine to equal a glass of wine.
Fruit such as grapes, too!
You left out a word, so I fixed it...
You obviously have not seen the friends on my wife’s Facebook page.
More people die running, cycling or working out than do on bar stools.
There was a study done in one of the Scandinavian countries a few years back that concluded that if medical authorities were being honest, they’d declare not drinking in moderation to be a major health hazard.
This makes sense to a degree when it comes to cardio pulmonary disease.
In the early 1900s when they were conducting autopsies on corpses to learn basic causes of death they found alcoholics had little arteriosclerosis - practically no build up at all.
Hypothesis was that the alcohol was burning away the buildups.
Now the liver was a whole other issue.
A funny but true bit.
My cardiologist asked me if I smoked. I said “No.”
He then asked me if I drank. I said “yes.”
Socially — he asked?
I said “no.” He looked at me.
I said that before I go to bed, I take 2 pill medications, and instead of water, I drink 3-4 ounces of red wine. Wine rather than water, because of the heart healthy resveratrol. But I am alone. I drink the wine with the pills and go to bed. There is no one around— so it is not “socially”.
He looked at me— and had to think a moment, then he was fine.
It really was a funny exchange!
For years I made beer with,and and drank it with my Dr. We both relocated... Had to find a new Dr. to drink with, so I married her.
por nada...return the favor sometime...or pass it on.

More evidence that there are too many researchers who will write anything for a grant application and too much money being squandered on needless studies which produced totally-useless information.
It is 1.3 drinks a day ... to say that amount is borderline alcoholic to me is ridiculous.
Regular consumption of addictive substances makes you addict of sort.
