    And just the other day the doctor told me drinking daily the liver can't recoop that's it's better to get drunk and not drink for a day or two. Now they say it's healthy to have a few a night. Grrr just like it was mentioned in bed time subject. One year it will be 8:00 bed time is healthier for kids and next year it will be 9:00 and the next year it will be 10:00 is healthier. GEt the point. I am tired of hearing all the researches because it always changes.:biggrin_25511:

    But this one works in my favor and I hope my doctor listens to it :). Yeah me l.o.l.

    It's probably not that the alcohol in itself is healthy, it's the stress relief it affords. :yes2557:

    Ha! Good stuff, y'all.
    I think that doctor is an idiot. Things he doesn't count in are as mentioned, liver repair, and athletes all over know of the effects of cortisol from alcohol: muscle wasting hormone. There are numerous other damages done by alcohols, but beneficial effects from (particularly) red wine, drank occasionally.
    Before there is an argument, the biblical adjunct about red wine for the stomach was a medicinal use before we had antacids and the like. They ate a lot of bacteria too. I would suppose that often they would get one that the body had no immunity for, although you'll see that people who work farms and the like around tons of bacteria have stronger immune systems.
    I still want you to wash your hands before hitting the salad bar.
