A bottle of wine a day is not bad for you and abstaining is worse than drinking, scientist claims

qubit · Apr 17, 2015

So getting plastered on a whole bottle of wine daily isn't bad for you?! I want to know what this "scientist" is smoking and avoid it.

Former World Health Organisation alcohol expert Dr Kari Poikolainen has analysed decades of research into the effects of alcohol on the human body, The Daily Mail reports.

His conclusion - drinking is only harmful when you consume more than 13 units a day - that’s four to five pints of beer or more than a bottle of wine - which typically contains around 10 units.

I've heard about this years ago but they say a glass a day can help not a whole bottle. But it might be something stupid like the thing I've heard the other day than putting onions in your socks before sleeping can help your body circulate blood better and thus making you healthier.

I cant handle alcohol in any way. I get mad sick feeling and sweaty.
I know the extracts of wine/skins have resveratrol which has some supposed benefits.

wtf does this have to do with computers and technology?

edit: But then again, too much of anything is bad for you. I'd say a bottle of wine a day is a bit much. Nutrition journals from researchers claim that one glass of wine a day isn't bad, but actually good. Its also said that men and women should drink different amounts. Men more, women less.

Yes, indeed science - and not "barely". Presumably this scientist's conclusion is based on science, or should be.

Note that the subforum description lists climate change as a possible topic, so what does that have to do with computers and technology either? See, same way I can talk about this.

Oh dear, you've made me facepalm lolcat style again.

1/10 for you.

Instead of derailing this thread and potentially having the mods on your back yet again, why don't you try saying something constructive and on topic about this subject instead? You've already voted the right way (Yes) so I know you can do it, hence let's see if you can improve on that embarrassing 1/10 score.

You clearly have no answer, cuz you know I'm right and are too small minded to admit it. If you don't want to take part just get off my thread instead of crapping again. Thanks. :nutkick:

That's actually worth posting about, despite your dodgy motivation for doing so. Now try and stay on topic and improve your score, hmmm???

it is a Finnish surname... so guess why...

Actually sometimes he might hit the point... I don't consider that amount much too

One good example... are my local people who were mobilized for Chernobyl clean up works... most shocking thing, most of them really already died from cancer... except the heavy drinkers... so figure out yourselves

They are pickled?

I really cannot explain why the cancer don't get them... but really that's the only explanation lately that we have - why they are still alive from that mushroom.

The thing was so intense, even that far away, some kids who played out that day loosed their hair in a few days. Even now in Germany most than a third hunted boar is still over average radioactive limits... because they still live there, feed there and die there in the soil, the radioactive material doesn't die...

And to give this a gaming spin, in the stalker series you drink vodka to get rid of rads.
Wheres the evidence to support that drinking a bottle of wine a day is great for you?

EDIT: Ferrum Master, the effects of the incident where felt all over Europe because of winds.

broken pixel · Apr 17, 2015

It depends on the quality of the wine & wine without BS chemicals or made from grapes sprayed with pesticides.

The most screwed thing is... the winds were quite unfortunate for us mate

. I haven't played Stalker long really, it was so bugged so I quit it, unfortunately these observations are from my own met people.

But really.... a bottle of wine... naah... eastern Europe... doesn't count...

remixedcat · Apr 17, 2015

I cna drink a whole bottle of wine and not really feel a thing other than a slight tummy buzz.

it takes a 1.3rd of a bottle of 60%+ stuff to even get me a bit of a real buzz.

Most doctors have agreed that a glass of red wine a day is very good for you, in many ways. It's good for the heart, lowers LDL, and is filled with antioxidants. But a bottle? The same benefit and help a glass does for the liver would be completely reversed by a bottle a day. What were they smoking while he did the study?

I agree about those chemicals, but it's the shear amount of alcohol in wine that's the problem. It's a toxin, so will make one very sick over time and that swamps any other marginal potential benefits.
