How many of you have a glass of wine each night?

[240 is Back]

If so, what's your choice?

[Zaphod]

I'll have wine everyone in a while. A little cheap cab' can be pretty tasty.

[BayGBM]

I do.  I almost always have a glass of Chardonnay with dinner.  Often it's 2 buck Chuck, but if I have company or want to treat myself I'll open a bottle of the good stuff. 

I also enjoy dessert wines.  I try different ones and repeat on the bottles I like.  Currently have a bottle of Rutherglen Muscat by Campbells.  It's funny, I don't mind spending $150 on a good bottle of Chardonnay, but I wince at dessert wines in the $60-$100 range.  I prefer to stick to dessert wines under $50.

For red, I love the Zin, but I'll settle for CigarZin if I have to.   

About two years, ago a few of us here exchanged quite a few private messages about wine with a number of recommendations.  I've said it before and I'll say it again: the best exchanges on this board occur via PM.

I have two drinks every night.  I think going through a rotation of high quality beers (hoppy or stout-ish), red wines (i'd stay away from whites, big link between whites and lung cancer), vodkas, gins, whiskeys and tequilas gives your body a wide range of health benefits, allows for better sleeping and makes for a nice reward at the end of the day.  As long as you keep it cool except for special occasions, alcohol is good for you, really good.  If you use too much, like most things, its bad for you.

Whats an average drink?  About 200 calories, thats maybe wine or a beer.  2x200=400x7=2800 empty calories per week. 11,200 per month.  1 lb fat is aprox 3500 calories extra.  At that rate your gonna be putting on about 3.2 lbs of lard a month, unless you cut back somewhere else or spend about 15-18 hours on the treadmill just for the alcohol per month.

I don't drink much wine anymore, but I had some port once and it was best tasting stuff ever. 

I have some beers on the weekends now. Heard it has good health benefits, and plus who doesn't mind a drink?

I think drinking is one of the worst things ever. All the harms of drinking outweigh the benefits. For one, it's addictive if done too often. Alcohol also contains tons of calories. And the loss of water isn't good for the body. I also noticed that curbing and stopping drinking helped me pack on a lot more size and improved my memory. I think the benefits are overplayed quite a bit because alcohol just happens to be such an important part of our society.

[Palpatine Q]

Strictly Expensive wine for me.

I don't think alcohol will make you gain weight, but it's still just mostly empty calories.
