So, the French are doing it all wrong then - eating too much saturated fat and drinking way too much wine? Maybe they should start measuring exactly the alcohol content and use standard measuring cylinders? Again, this is the oversimplification of human metabolism. Maybe two glasses are too much for your own weak system, but for healthy people it's not much at all and pay attention to the study - people who had more were still fine. Also, pay attention again - drinking wine with a meal (especially something as fatty as cheese) is not the same as drinking it on empty stomach - something you're totally missing in your "guidelines". Also, drinking alone and in a social setting makes a difference, too.
