ITV news claim 2 glasses of wine is too much

Just watching it now, apparantly having 2 or more glasses of wine a day is too much.

This is complete rubbish, it gets bad when your buying white star/lightning by the bulk.

Well i used to work in a Co-op in my village and around 30-40% of the customers baught 3 or more bottles, was the best seller

Depends what you mean by "glasses" some people have those huge wine glasses and they are like nearly a pint of wine plus wine is 11% compared to 5% lager, lager > Wine

How disappointing. Was looking forward to some quality tales of you wetting yourself/fighting with hobo's.

The guideline for alcohol consumption is about 20 units a week so two glasses of wine a day would be over this assuming they are 11-13% and not tiny.

It's just the corporate news pumping you with fear, warnings and uncertainty.

You can never have too much wine.

How do you know ? Do you have evidence backing up your claim?

NightSt@lk3r · 16 Oct 2007 at 18:59

so the 3 bottles a day ive been drinking is not good?

Glaucus · 16 Oct 2007 at 18:59

according to the government it is, what is it no more than 4 units a day.

Although I don't think it's good drinking everyday anyway.

Surely if the news was as "corporate" as you suggest, they would tell you to buy more wine?

Sounds a wee bit like Alec Baldwin at the end of Team America. "Global warming! Corporate America!"

I call shenanigans on this!

I usually consume 3-4 pints followed by 2-3 generous glasses of wine each day. More at weekends.

I combine this with a healthy, varied diet.

I also smoke about 20 cigarettes a day.

I rarely exercise more than walking to tube and back for work.

I'm in good shape, have good stamina, am in good health (rarely ill) and if anything am slightly below normal weight (6' tall, about 11 stone).

Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it

So 4 pints and a bottle of win every night, that's not healthy, even if you feel healthy. Go see the AA

Only means you are going to die suddenly and unexpectedly.
