Is one glass of red Wine a night harmful to your body?

 

one glass of anything can't be bad for you unless the glass is HUGE.

 

Medical research suggests that having a glass of red wine every evening is very healthy, especially for males. There's a chemical in grape skins, resvesterol, which is believed to lower the risk of stroke and heart attack. You can get pills with this chemical, but my doctor thinks that drinking the wine is better. He's an older, European guy with a holistic approach to health, and he believes that enjoying some wine and good food at the end of the day, with family or friends, is one of the best things you can do for your physical and emotional health.

The only exception would be if you have a drinking problem where one drink leads to eight or ten.

I've heard this before. In addition, red wine contains a good amount of antioxidants. I love wine.

 

wine is supposedly awesome for your body in moderate amounts over time.

 

Even if it comes out of a box. Or a giant Carlos Rossi jug. haha

 

Thanks for the replies guys!

 

There have been studies that say glass of wine is good for the heart, mind, and soul.

Of course a lot of other things are better for you. Like not drinking at all.

 

Green Tea contains more antioxidants and won't get you pulled out of your car for "smell of alcohol".

 

a glass is a glass....
