Is Alcohol good for you? Science podcast video...

[cyprusmax47]

I just watched this rather long video about Alcohol consumption and was not really surprised that good quality red wine has health benefits when consumed in small amounts.

I loved to drink Italian Barolo as well as French Chateau Margaux, both mentioned in that podcast, when i was much younger and was able to afford it.
But this was before I moved permanently to Cyprus 40 years ago.

Perhaps members on here are interested to listen what two leading scientists had to say to better understand the effects of alcohol:

Sorry, found it rather tedious after a few minutes.

That said, my granddaughter, who gave up alcohol when she was pregnant, has been telling my daughter and I, that we should give up drinking alcohol too, as we would, in her words, sleep better, feel better and look better.

After two weeks of being alcohol free, I don't sleep better, I don't feel better, and I don't look better. I will carry on and give it a month, then who knows, at my age, does it matter if I like a tipple.

I told myself I should stop drinking...
But I'm not going to listen to some drunk who talks to himself

Interesting post Firefly,i have also been told by my better half ( and she,s always right of course ) that i would sleep better if i abstained.I have been considering this for a zillion years but you say it has,nt helped you sleep better.So thanks i will now consider it for.......another zillion years.
