Red Wine is good for you: Myth busted!

@coliver Have you tried Mead? Might be something you would like. Maybe a lambic like Framboise.
-
The only way to say you drink for the health benefits, is to drink what the scientific community has agreed to what moderate drinking is:

Any more than that, it no longer applies and is being abused for the sake of justifying yourself drinking.

My guess is i am lucky genetically, I have to work really hard to become addicted to anything.... Except Food.

Same here. Even food I can accidentally go a few days without having and not realize!

@scottalanmiller I know, the wife likes desert/sweet wines and drinks. I am a beer snob. It happens when you brew your own.

A splash of Framboise in a pint of Guinness (or other stout/porter) is fantastic. Also delicious in chocolate cakes, cookies, etc.

@rojoloco Oh WOW. Nothing better than Guinness on tap. I'm gonna have to try that. That sounds insane! Awesome.

Lol yeah, I chuckled at that too.
The takeaway is that, per drinking episode, once your BAC hits 0.055, it's no longer beneficial to consume alcohol, and not more than 12-14 drinks per week for men... still paying attention to all other details of what defines moderate drinking.

I like dessert wine. I like sweet liqueur. But mead is just.... drunk honey. It's too much for me.
-
Never could get into mead. But a good beer... stout, porter... yum.

Here is the same conclusion, however, a different definition of what "moderate drinking" is...

Now the question becomes, what exactly is the most accepted and/or correct definition of moderate drinking.

Each country has their own, although they are relatively similar, but they do vary quite a bit.

I drink either a beer or whiskey or glass of wine almost every other day.
