Question: Should I give up alcohol all together!?

I never really drank before last year!. I am in my early thirties and look much younger for my age!. When I go out with my friends once a week, I only drink a max of 2-3 drinks and no more!. I order lite beers, red wine or white wine spritzers!. I have been reading about how alcohol ages people from the inside out!. I have been thinking about stopping all together!. Am I paranoid or is a balance ok!? should I give up alcohol all together!? what is your opinion!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Moderate alcohol consumption is actually good for you, esp wine!. Drink with a meal or with friends!. 2-3 is fine but 1-2 drinks daily is the best way to go!. Fatty foods like McDonald's are more damaging than a glass of wine!. Look at our health compared to the French or Italians!. They even chain smoke and have better life expectancy than Americans!. Its the daily wine that keeps them ticking!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

As a Recovering Alcoholic there seems to be no problem for that amount, if you start finding out once you have had a drink of alcohol and you cannot stop, then you have a problem!. Even the suggetsd units per week are only guidelines, everyone is different and can handle liquor to various degrees!. When you need a drink in the morning to stop the shakes a person is on the verge of Alcoholism!.
Beware though I started on whiskey at the age of eleven it can start at any age !Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think you have a wonderful balance! red wine is actually really good for you because of the antioxidants in it!. you seem to have a good head on your shoulders and you know what you need to do!. alcohol does age people and destroys your liver but if you are limiting yourself and not drinking much i dont think you should give up a part of you because believe it or not alcohol is a part of you just like food is!. its something we do when we socialize so go ahead have fun order a round and drink up baby!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You have nothing to worry about!. 2 or 3 drinks a week is a very low alcohol intake level!. Even 2 drinks a DAY would have a net health benefit!. You're perfectly fine to be drinking that much!. Since you started drinking so late, it's also highly unlikely you would ever become dependent on alcohol!.

Go, have fun!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think that drinking every once in a while is fine,maybe a couple times a month!.!. If you go out every weekend then only set a max of 2 or just nurse one all night and then drink water to help it flush thru your system!. I dont think that you have to give up alcohol altogether!.!. there might end up being a New years party or a wedding and you might have to drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For as little as you drink you'll be fine in terms of its aging effects!.

If you don't "get anything out of it" then by all means quit!. Just a waste of money then, isn't it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Send me a pic!.!.!. If you look really good keep it to a minimum!. But if you are allready an ugly!.!.!.!.!.!. drink it up!.!.!.!. j/k!. I think your thinking about it to much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
