    Just curious: Is all of wine alcohol? If a 5 ounce glass is 150 calories 10% alcohol are the alcohol calories 15 or the 150 for the entire glass. If it is the 150 calories and someone on a 1200 calorie diet has two glasses then alcohol is 25% of their intake. Just curious

    Unlike so many things that people say are "toxic" alcohol actually is toxic. I'm not suggesting that everyone should stop drinking it and it should be illegal and all that, but it really is, technically, bad for us.

    Knee-jerk response was "non-alcoholic wine is grape juice", but after rereading, that's completely not your question.

    I would say the entire 150 calories would be attributed to alcohol. The reason for this is because you are consuming 150 calories that you now can't spend on food. So, yes, two glasses of wine would be 25% of the intake of someone who is on 1200 calories a day. And it would be really difficult to get all the nutrition you need for the day in the remaining 900 calories.

    what happens when i drink ONE 5oz glass of wine?
    i want another one
    then another one since the bottle is already opened and it spoils in 2 days.

    I use this logic, too, so I keep Trader Joe's box wine around for the nights I am attempting moderation. It keeps up to 4 weeks and let's me save the bottles for the weekends. ;)

    Here is an updated rat study on that rat study:

    Conclusions—Resveratrol treatment of mice with established HF lessens the severity of the HF phenotype by lessening cardiac fibrosis, improving molecular and structural remodeling of the heart, and enhancing diastolic function, vascular function, and energy metabolism.

    I am in the wine business. I drink 1 to 2 glasses of wine, each day. I make sure that it fits in to my calorie count for the day.

    Except the gym doesn't have a negative effect on your liver. They always leave that part out.
    And also what auddii said.

    Red wine is not associated with health problems unless you overdo it. You can suffer ill effects from overdoing it at the gym too.

    Actually studies show that all alcohol, even moderate, affects the liver. Having 1 drink a day is the same as having 7 at once one time a week to the liver. Can't remember where I read it. So I suppose you could take that with a grain of salt, but I'm personally on the cautious side of things when it comes to drugs and alcohol.

    You're right about the gym also.

    I will take that with a grain of salt. Especially since "affects" =/= "negatively affects". Eating fruit "affects" the liver.

    I meant negatively effects. I'd said that in my first post so I figured it was implied.

    Yes, I know. Something you read somewhere at sometime but don't remember the source. Got it.

    This was done on a TV show. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-32798569
    Twins, 1 of them drank the "recommended" number of units a day, the other drank the whole weeks "recommended" number of units in 1 night.

    The blood work etc at the end showed that both livers were almost at the same state. So yeah, it doesn't matter if you binge it or drink it spread out. damage is the same. It's the quantity which is the issue not how you drink it.
