IS A GLASS OF WINE A DAY GOOD FOR YOU

My girlfriend drinks 1-2 glasses of red wine in day at meal, instead of tea. Tell me such volume it is alcoholism or not? How many in general it is possible to drink weak alcohol in a day not including it alcoholism, even in insignificant degree. The girlfriend speaks that in France they drink a wine bottle in a day, instead of drinks is considered it during meal, at them it is the norm. It is truth?

Raduga: Well not a bottle and a wine glass by a dinner ~ 100ml. About advantage: certainly, red dry wine - one of the strongest antioxidants. But I think that hardly it is useful to drink A GLASS OF WINE every day. An important question - wine we drink is natural, is useful? … A standard glass for wine it is about 200 ml, but pour wine on half, it is no more.… Ethyl spirit is certainly poison, a matter in quantity. So it is possible to decompose a water to components and to tell, for example, that it is poisonous because of the chlorine maintenance… In general, I do not advance idea of advantage of wine specially. I am fond dry red wine only and for me personally, as well as to the Omar Khayyam; it improves mood and general state.

Karen: About one year back I watched interesting telecast about advantage of a glass of wine. It has appeared, it is disputable enough true. Medicine and manufacturers of wine are in collusion: advertise such “prophylactic”. …. the true in dispute was not born, though shout was enough. And I have not understood, whether there is an advantage of such cultural use of a glass of wine or harm. …. About advantage of a glass of red wine: I think it is no more, than a myth. Eat incorrectly, lie on a sofa - hardly the glass of red wine will prolong your life ….

Jemma: It seems to me that there actually at Frenchmen with wine, anybody precisely does not know. Well and their wine is precisely another. I do not trust more in utility of any alcoholic drinks, even in small amounts - I perceive these "doctrines about advantage of alcohol" as business.

Anatoliy: … Yes, A GLASS OF WINE A DAY GOOD FOR YOU. And the dose depends on a food. Ancestors of Frenchmen drank glasses of wine in hundreds years. At them it was generated feature to neutralization of alcoholic poison. And, if the representative of the nationality which ancestors did not drink wine, tries such to repeat - he turn in a month to the alchy. … The dose of the SOBER person is equal to ZERO))... So do not justify. … DRINK NATURAL JUICE is better and there will be to you a health)) You in general know that means a word an antioxidant. Manufacturers of wine have hung up tempting labels, and people thoughtlessly repeat: "O-o-o, it is an antioxidant. It is necessary to drink for appetite..."

Oinka: Frenchmen drink the diluted wine. So concentration of alcohol in it is less, than in that wine which is usually drunk. And in general, the degree of alcoholic intoxication (easy, average, strong intoxication, a poisoning) is defined on a scale calculated on average drinking European. So, all is relatively. Someone gets drunk with a glass of wine, and for someone two bottles of vodka has not enough!

Dimon: …There is one more minus. It is noticed by the same Frenchmen. In the north of France where drink only imported wine, they are ill much more often, than in the south of France, where is drunk natural wine. Further. Young wine, that we see that give to children, it practically is juice. It is really diluted with water and drunk as a soft drinks. Alcohol there is from 1-7%. But not 9-12 %. Wine is useful. And really good wines cost much. And in general, juice and wine - basically the same. As soon as fermentation process started – it is young wine. Grain natural kvass has the same percent of alcohol. No harm from it - it is obvious. And it not makes you alchy.

Fiume: I do not know how is in France, I was not there, but I can tell about Croatia, in which there I live 4 years. When you come on a visit, they ask "white (wine) or red (wine)"? They do not offer tea, coffee. They drink wine, but do not revel. To Croatia the grapevine was delivered in the ancient time by Greeks and since then in this land - a glass of wine is integral part of life. At people it already in a gene code. They drink dry Wine only, diluted or in the pure state. In Kiev I did not drink some wines - the allergic rhinitis at once began. In Croatia I drink a glass of wine without consequences. The wine from south regions is easier drunk and it is easier to be endured, and sometimes the organism asks it. In sanatoria of Crimea for a dinner always a glass of red dry wine gave, I think, and now give. It is better to regularly drink a glass of wine, than to revel on holidays. ….

Niusya: I consider that wine should be bought there, where it make. Natural red dry wine IS a magnificent antioxidant. In Brazil even cosmetics manufactures by the name of different brands of grapes. They use all useful behaviors of grapes. I never abuse winemaking.

Tolia: This point in question can be considered from the several points of view. For example, if to speak about qualitative and rather weak (dry) wine as an antioxidant, drinking at dinner a glass of wine it is undoubtedly useful. But! On the other hand, any alcohol how qualitative would not be, kills cells (neurons) of brain. Therefore any alcohol is unhealthy. The wine is not harmful only in absolutely small amounts…

Polet: I think that one-two glasses of red wine in a day in any way it is impossible to consider the use of as alcoholism. The moderate use of wine has a number of positive factors - digestion improvement, blood pressure normalization etc.
