Yes wine can be very good for the human body. Wine is good for cardiovascular health to an extent. When drinking 5-10 ounces a day wine is good any more and it becomes progressively worse. What has been found this that ethanol participates in thinning or reducing blood viscosity and reducing clot risk. The opposite can be true if alcohol is abused. Longevity Moderate drinkers tend to live longer than those who either abstain or drink heavily. Healthier Lives Moderate drinkers tend to enjoy better health than do either abstainers or heavy drinkers. Heart Attack Survivability In addition to reducing the risk of heart attacks, the moderate consumption of alcohol also increases their the survivability. Heart Attacks Moderate drinkers are also less likely to suffer heart attacks than are abstainers or heavy drinkers. How does alcohol reduce heart disease? -It increases HDL ( "good ") cholesterol -Alcohol decreases thrombosis (blood clotting) Other Benefits The moderate consumption of alcohol is also apparently effective in reducing the incidence of a broad range of diseases and other health problems And the list goes on... Moderate consumption of alcohol appears to be beneficial to reducing or preventing even more diseases and health problems: * Angina Pectoris 96 * Bone Fractures and Osteoporosis 97 * Digestive Ailments 98 * Duodenal Ulcer 99 * Erectile Dysfunction 100 * Essential Tremors 101 * Gallstones 102 * Hearing Loss 103 * Hepatitis A 104 * Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (Cancer) 105 * *Kidney Stones 106 * Macular Degeneration (a major cause of blindness) 107 * Pancreatic Cancer 108 * Parkinson's Disease 109 * Poor Cognition and Memory 110 * Poor Physical Condition in Elderly 111 * Stress and Depression 112 * Type B Gastritis 113 www2.potsdam.edu/ hansondj/ AlcoholAndHealth.html Check this information and research the referenced literature and you too will come to find that alcohol is not bad at all. Abuse of anything in most any way is always bad.

Drinking wine is seen by many researchers as being a source of many beneficial compounds and functions for your body. In fact, the size of a wine bottle is thought to be the perfect amount for one man to consume with dinner on whatever basis he drank wine with dinner, which was often nightly.

Any alcohol is good for you in small quantities This is scientifically proven and anyone who simply spouts out the "alcohol is bad " line is purely doing it because they are against alcohol.

In small quantities (1-2 glasses per day), good. In large quantities, .bad.
