Russethouse Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Apparently a glass of red wine a day is good against Alzheimer's, as is staying married (for men, for women being married or not makes no discernable difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Alcohol became a major problem for my ex partner. It killed our relationship.And he nearly killed himself when he hit a wall while drunk driving in England .He could have bumped into another car and kill a family. I couldn't cope with this .

Russethouse Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 There's a big difference in alchohol to excess, and a glass of wine a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I could not agree more.Everything in moderation.I am out Breton dancing later so not too much wine,but after I have tired myself out I will have to retire to the bar and have a few just to be sociable.

Gardengirl Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I have a couple of glasses most days - pretty much rosé in the summer months, red in the colder months (supporting local industries!), occasionally none, sometimes more. I never drink if I might possibly need to drive later, and have always (until recent years) been very healthy, a very sensible eater and a bit of a beanpole - my nickname involved 'Skinny! I also had breast cancer, but I can't say I'm totally convinced of the link, as so much also depends on shape/size, amount of exercise taken, amount of fats eaten etc. My mother died following breast cancer, and the most she ever drank was the rare glass of Vaux or Mackeson and a snowball at Christmas; meals involved many vegetables which Dad grew, and lots of fish. However, she also smoked, which I don't, never have apart from at college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the title of the thread being " do you drink wine every day ? " well... he drank wine in excess , every day ...I only drink wine socially, to go with a meal I share with friends.
