went to my Dr. a few years ago for my annual. Going over my numbers he was curious about why my cholesterol had gone up. I said I was baffled too as I was on a no alcohol diet. He proclaimed that red wine has been shown to reduce cholesterol so I should consider a moderate, like 5oz of red wine a day, resumption.

Got home wife asked how the visit went. I said fine, my Dr said I should drink red wine.

Just out of curiosity, what were the results on your next exam? Cholesterol up or down?

When I was in grad school I had to go in for a checkup. Doc looks at my blood work and say, “Did you quit drinking?” I told her I had been so busy working on my stuff I simply didn’t have time for anything else. She told me to start drinking again. Well, she’s the doctor.
