They can say whatever they want with their fancy degrees in chemistry. I've always suspected that the real advantage of red wine is twofold:
1) Unlike other hard beverages, people tend to not abuse it, thus liver problems don't come up.
2) Like all hard beverages, it has the effect of mellowing you out. I probably spend at least 3-4 hours a day considerably less high-strung as a result of wine drinking. Stress is a killer. This kind of everyday moderate drinking has been the status quo throughout the Mediterranean for 1000s of years.
- mrtron 18y agoYou drink wine every night? My schedule is far too buy to allow that...perhaps that is part of it? You are in a relaxed enough schedule to have some shutdown time every day?
- mpc 18y agoI have a pretty busy schedule but a while back I started adjusting it to allow for time to actually sit down and eat a real dinner. My wife and I usually have 1 glass of wine each. It's a great way to reduce stress and enjoy life. It also helps me get out of the twitchy, burnt out feeling after writing code and drinking tea/coffee for 10 hours.
- mynameishere 18y agoI go to bed about 3 AM, and there's not much pressing business after midnight.
- mattmaroon 18y agoPouring a glass takes what, a minute?
- mrtron 18y agoMy quality of work would suffer for those few hours, I wouldn't be able to go at 100%.
- joshstaiger 18y agoTrue, but I find my ability to code significantly diminished after even one glass. I'm all for finding some time to unwind with a glass when you can, however...
