Health warnings about alcohol

Today there is yet another report in the press warning about alcohol consumption. Does anybody actually take notice of these reports? I work on the basis that a little of what you fancy ( A glass of red wine with lunch and a glass with dinner in my case.) does you good and we've all got to die sometime.

Having seen two elderly relatives with dementia consigned to nursing homes, I'd sooner go with a glass in my hand and a song in my heart.

Re: Health warnings about alcohol

depends how much a day you are drinking and for how many days a week and how many weeks a year and so on? - the science shows limits to good health that's all?

Re: Health warnings about alcohol

Not really, i enjoy a drink , and like the OP its an occasional treat. It provides a range of taste experiences, and mental mood changes depending on time of day like food, relaxation, stimulation, and company.

I only drink at home now as pubs are now expensive souless glorified burger bars.

Re: Health warnings about alcohol

The ‘experts’ swing from one opinion to another, yes, wine (red) is good for you, then no it’s bad for you!

In France, to drink wine has always been part of their culture and l imagine they drink lots of it.
Do experts in their country, tell them it’s bad for them, like the experts do here?

A little of what you fancy does you good!

Me too, unless we are going out for a meal with friends or family when we usually get a cab. But when we visit other people it's always me doing the driving so that means no alcohol.

Alcoholics with dementia are no fun!
I don't want to be dealing with either disease.
I'll stick with tea

I'm weird enough as it is!

Re: Health warnings about alcohol

I drink 2 bottles of red every week with alcohol free days in between.
Should my liver give up the ghost one day, I don't care.
I'll keep drinking on other body parts, kidneys probably.
