    You're a man and as such can tolerate more alcohol than the average woman. A glass or two of red wine is healthy, but a bottle every day? I don't know. You should ask your doctor and possibly get your liver scanned.

    Let me paint a picture for you:

    My friend asked me to get a glass wine stopper for her when I went to Venice.

    I replied with "People re-cork wine?"

    Its like my daily ritual usually. After work I hit the gym, then shower up then dinner with wine...............and wine night cap afterwards. I know they say a glass of wine a day is good for your heart. Im averaging about a bottle of Merlot a night. Do you think I might be overdoing it a bit?

    I do work out alot and take a daily multivitamin!:bigsmile:

    The vitamins in your multivitamin negate any bad effects of the wine. So feel free to get "wine-y", but get late night hard core physical activity in order to avoid temporary weight gain.

    I work for physicians. If you told your doctor you drank a bottle of wine a night....they would diagnose you as an "alcoholic".

    I too used to drink this much and I weighed about 40 pounds more than I do now. Now that I don't drink except perhaps twice a month, I realized that my problem wasn't really with food, it was with alcohol.

    Do you drink a bottle and not "snack" while drinking? I always ended up eating again once I drank because alcohol made me hungry. I would end up consuming around 1200 more calories a day just by drinking on a daily basis.

    If you don't mind being "labeled" an alcoholic by professionals, you don't snack while drinking , and you got a good liver, then do what you feel is right The choice is yours.

    The only thing I would worry about is the calories. I am also a wine lover and would drink it daily if I could afford to (calorie wise). There is about 122 calories in a 5 oz glass of Merlot and i believe there is around 25 or so ounces in a bottle so you are looking at around 488 calories or so. I was drinking white wine a week ago and looked up the calories only to find out that I drank about 550 calories! Yikes! For me if I am going to have calories I would rather eat them, lol. :smile:

    I really hope this is a joke. The only thing wrong with drinking a bottle of wine per day is the calories??? *facepalm*
    That much alcohol a day is just bad for your health, not just due to weight gain.


    Agreed! That really can't be a smart thing to do :S I love my vino but there are just so many things wrong with this concern (if it is legit).
