Is there a problem with this line of thinking: "I will only drink wine and beer. No straight booze" ?!


Question: Is there a problem with this line of thinking: "I will only drink wine and beer!. No straight booze" !?
One might say that this person could have issues!. Ok, fine this person is me!. I'm just asking for some guidance here in the realm of spirits!. Is one still healthy if they imbibe the dark stuff on a daily basis or bi-daily basis!. I only want answers that agree with my behavior so it can be reinforced and rationalized!. Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
!. Feed your head
Wine could preserve your memory!. When researchers gave memory quizzes to women in their 70s, those who drank one drink or more every day scored much better than those who drank less or not at all!. Wine helps prevent clots and reduce blood vessel inflammation, both of which have been linked to cognitive decline, as well as heart disease, explains Tedd Goldfinger, DO, of University of Arizona School of Medicine!. Alcohol also seems to raise HDL, the good cholesterol, which helps unclog your arteries!.

2!. Keep the scale in your corner
Studies find that people who drink wine daily have lower body mass than those who indulge occasionally; moderate wine drinkers have narrower waists and less abdominal fat than people who drink liquor!. Alcohol may encourage your body to burn extra calories for as long as 90 minutes after you down a glass!. Beer seems to have a similar effect!.

3!. Boost your body’s defenses
In one British study, those who drank roughly a glass of wine a day reduced by 11 percent their risk of infection by Helicobacter pylori bacteria, a major cause of gastritis, ulcers, and stomach cancers!. As little as half a glass may also guard against food poisoning caused by germs like salmonella when people are exposed to contaminated food, according to a Spanish study!.

4!. Guard against ovarian woes
When Australian researchers recently compared women with ovarian cancer and cancer-free women, they found that roughly one glass of wine a day seemed to reduce the risk of the disease by as much as 50 percent!. Earlier research at the University of Hawaii produced similar findings!. Experts suspect this may be due to antioxidants or phytoestrogens, which have high anticancer properties, in the wine!. And in a recent University of Michigan study, a red wine compound helped kill ovarian cancer cells in a test tube!.

5!. Build better bones
On average, women who drink moderately seem to have higher bone mass than abstainers!. Alcohol appears to boost estrogen levels; the hormone seems to slow the body’s destruction of old bone more than it slows the production of new bone!.

6!. Prevent blood-sugar trouble
Premenopausal women who drink one or two glasses of wine a day are 40 percent less likely than women who don’t drink to develop type 2 diabetes, according to a 10-year study by Harvard Medical School!. While the reasons aren’t clear, wine seems to reduce insulin resistance in diabetic patients!.

7) The wine has the kind of alcohol that kills the "special" brain cells!. The ones that are used when you dress plaid with stripes or buy that ugly green purse you realize is ugly only 3days after buying it!. With the "special" brain cells out of the way you are free to use the better ones!.

8) If your spouse/boyfriend/domestic partner is kind of, lets say, butt-ugly it can make pro-creation easier!.

So, no, there is no problem unless you are weak enough to be a quitter!
Drink away and enjoy the extra brain cells and other healthy benefits!.

Not really, if you have self-control!.

If you don't, and you already have a high possibility of being an alcoholic, then I would consider it a gate-way drink; something to be careful of!.

Think of it in terms of drugs, some people say they will only ever do marajuana, but when it stops working, they reach for the more powerful drugs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, not all all!. Some people have different tolerances for alcohol, and certain types of alcohol can do different things to people!. Some people can't drink beer because there is sooo much carbonation, it just makes them sick!. Everyone is different, nothing wrong with that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Doesnt matter what a person drinks but how much alcohol in total and how much alcohol in a single sitting!. For instance 1 glass a day is okay but 7 on a Saturday night is not so healthy!. The liver can only handle so muchWww@FoodAQ@Com

Uh!.!.!.nobody would say that person has issues!. Why do you think there's something wrong with that!? That's like saying "I only eat fruits and vegetables, and not fried foods and cake!." Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have nothing helpful to contribute to this question, but I couldn't help but lol at your choice of wording :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I try to never have to stand in line to drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
