Epidemiological Reasons To Drink Alcohol For Health

As an avid wine drinker, I'm always on the lookout for reasons to justify my habit and hobby. I think most folks accept that a couple of glasses of red wine a day can be good for the heart. This American Journal of Epidemiology abstract says there are additional benefits of drinking alcohol, Light to Moderate Alcohol Consumption and Disability: Variable Benefits by Health Status. Bottomline, Moderate alcohol consumption may help seniors keep disabilities at bay reports that "light to moderate drinkers in good health had a lower risk for developing new disabilities, compared with both abstainers and heavy drinkers."

Updated March 7, 2022

---  the original post follows below  ---

I love my wine, but I hate it when reports like these come out. This news article posted on Ivanhoe's Medical Breakthroughs, tells us to worry about the metal ion content of wines, "Wines Found Contaminated With Metals." From where I sit, there doesn't appear to be much I can personally do until producers label the metal ion content on the bottle. Until then, I think I'll keep drinking wine the way I do now. Bottoms up! Sante'
