	Bottle of wine a night: excessive? Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Just wondering...I mean it causes me no problems in the morning, I can go to the gym at 8am each morning even after a bottle the night before, every two days usually.

I tend to have a glass when preparing dinner, then a glass with dinner, then finish off the bottle with evening television. It also helps me sleep easier.

Anything wrong?

Depends on if it's good wine, or the sort of stuff you drink while still in the paper bag.

A bottle a day of a fine Bordeaux wouldn't phase me.

depends on your weight I guess. (and dont go quoting your weight in stones or whatever )

Actually, mature, complex wine, like Bordeaux, has been shown to be able to cause hangovers worse than more simple, lighter wines.

As yourself, could you do without that bottle. If the answer is yes, you're probably fine. If you couldn't, then your becoming dependant on it, which isn't good.

It's double the recommended weekly intake. Make your own mind up.

The first day or two might be tricky (sleeping, relaxing etc) but after that, no problem.

A glass or two a day is the recommended maximum, so yeah, drinking a bottle a day is putting stress on your liver. In ten, twenty years you should be dead.

So keep it up!

Yes, but you're younger, and so more vulnerable to the effects of alcohol.

Yep, it's very bad for you, hell, there's a reason why the French have the longest lifespan in Europe.

They drink mostly watered down wine. The best French wines may be very good, but French table wine is watery crap.

I've recently decided that I like my liver. It's my lungs I hate. So I've taken up weed, and stopped excessive drinking.

Weed's only bad for you if you smoke excessively. And you can always make brownies.

I wouldn't say that. I mean, reasonable weed use won't kill you, but it isn't exactly good for your health.

too much (as one bottle) isn't good, as isn't using a paratrooper unit as avatar icon.

yeah its definitely excessive.... but if you've got good genes half a bottle a day should be fine for at least 20-30 years - that is as long as you don't binge on weekends or anything

Its better to have 1 bottle a night and no binge drinking than to go out on the weekend and have 7 bottles in a night. The latter will kill you quicker.

Alas, its the more fun option.

A bottle per night is excessive. IIRC a bottle has 5 full glasses in it and 2 glasses is the recommended daily max for adult males (at 180 pounds). If you weigh 450 pounds, you can have the whole bottle, but you probably have other problems to deal with. LOL!

Given 1) my (small, but ever-growing) medical knowledge, and 2) my opinion of you, here's my advice--

Drink up, Stewie.

Correct, never take advice on drinking levels from Euro's and (esp) Yanks - they're scared of the stuff!!!

I drink a six pack a night and I've still got one of my livers left!
