There is little evidence that the alcohol in the red wine is what gives benefits. It's a possible avenue of study (does moderate consumption of alcohol improve health by relaxing & reducing stress levels?) but the current belief is some of the other chemicals are the key. Otherwise two shots of vodka should render the same health benefit.
- kolev 12y agoBeer has its benefits, too, unless it gets abused, too, or is totally adulterated like most modern beer. Is it the alcohol or the phytochemicals in the alcoholic beverages - I really don't care. Vilifying alcohol in general is what I care about. Tylenol is the leading cause of liver failure in the States, yet, doctors still prescribe it and it's OTC. Why not ban something that's proven to be harmful? I won't even mention Lipitor and similar!
