    Red wine with at least one meal a day?

    Personally, wine every day sounds like a lot to me! (but I don’t know what nutritionists say).

    Doesn’t it depend on your age? I think the Rambam says something about its being healthy when you’re older (don’t know what age that would be.)

    One small glass of red wine in the evening.

    In my experience, the Neshama has a strong affinity for bourbon.

    This is a question for doctors and nutritionists, and what’s right for one person is not right for someone else. So all of us Coffee Roomers (a/k/a yentas) should shut up. Let me be the first.

    Huju, the coffee room is a safe place for yidden to share their advice, however satirical it may be. I am sure that if Joseph had a serious medical dilemma he would certainly have asked Dr. Google instead. Let’s try to keep things positive?

    Much appreciated =)

    To a talmud haborei: Ok, I’ll be a yenta.

    I am not a doctor, not a nutritionist, but I once heard a doctor say 4 ounces of whiskey, or equivalent amounts of wine or beer, are advisable for men over 40, once a day, 7 days a week. And I know someone who followed that advice, was a heavy smoker, and died in his 80’s of a non-cardio-vascular illness. So I guess that proves it. Joseph, have another glass of wine.

    alcohol is a type of drug so the answer is NONE.

    APY – Pepsi Max has more caffeine. It has the most caffeine of any soda.

    If its being a type of drug means none should be taken, I’d better stop drinking coffee, eating chocolate and taking medicine for headaches.

    Huju – my grandfather, a”h, was a heavy smoker and he did NOT drink wine (to my knowledge) and he died in his 80’s. So I guess that proves you wrong! It must be the smoking that provides long life and not the drinking.

    Thank you huju, I really appreciated that

    And if we’re broaching the topic of drugs here, then I’d like to recommend trying some oxygen – I personally can’t get enough of it.

    According to the Dept. of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, review of Moderate Alcohol Consumption, moderate alcohol consumption has been observed to beneficially modulate several diseases including cardio-vascular disease, Type 2 diabetes among others.

    “Moderate alcohol consumption” is defined as: Two 1 1/2 oz shots of 80 proof spirits, or two 5oz glasses of wine or two 12oz servings of beer daily for women the amount listed for men is halved, I.E. one shot, one glass, one serving daily
