Author Topic: How many of you have a glass of wine each night? (Read 10985 times)

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.

well i get up every morning at 430 to walk my dog for an hour, so that easily covers it. My weight does what i want it to. when i want to gain, i gain. when i want to cut, i cut. When i cut, i usually cut back the alcohol to one drink a nite. I don't think the health benefits of alcohol are overrated in the slightest.

I'm not a fan of wine - it's usually too dry for my tastes.

i most definitely prefer beer with dinner, none of this nancy 2% alcohol stuff either, something full and dry.

I just started a little red wine each night. I sleep like a baby and feel very relaxed during the day. Just one glass. I've been missing out!

About 7 years ago....we had a lawyer many of us in practice did business with.

Long story short...he absconded with over 2 million dollars of personal injury settlement money.

I lost only about 20 thousand...one friend got hosed on 250K of patient settlement money.

He was forging patient sigs on settlement checks.

I confronted him...he said he "Didn't know what I was talking about..."

He signed his parent's house over to him...cashed in, blew the m,oney.

His own mother

He triend to do the same with his law firm's building...that is when he got nabbed.

Still, it was incredibly hard to disbar him. This is hard to do with attys...at least in CT.

He went to jail for a year or two.....now works as a PARALEGAL!

I had pateints literally comin g to me, crying...'where's my money'...etc.

Disgraceful

Probably already posted here...but docs say a glass a day good for the heart.

I don't drink...maybe I should start?

No.

doctors say, one glass is good for you, but unfortunately it doesn't stay with one glass very often. You get used to it, so in the first 3 weeks you might drink only one glass, but then you end up with drinking more and more.

So people with a drinking habit should limit themselves to one or two glasses of red wine per day, but with people who do not drink, it's safer to stay away from it and not make it a habit.
