I make really sure. 4-6 but instead of wine, I go for vodka, gin or whiskey. I don’t like beer. It will kill you 😉
I have heard that alcoholics may have all sorts of health issues, but they have clean arteries.
They want people on marijuana and opiods.
I’ll drink to that 😉
I go out with friends to wine bars and restaurants a couple of times a week.
I’ve noticed this January everywhere is REALLY empty. I think it’s a combo of omicron fears (I’m in fearful CA) and “Dry Januaries” that people like to do now—no drinking in Jan.
I opt to not participate in dry Jans—life is short! But yes, everything in moderation.
I drink for the health of the person who is getting on my nerves.
I can see that you are a selfless man, much as myself.
We live for others. We sacrifice ourselves for the good of those around us.
Stress is a big killer and there’s a school of thought that the stress relief from a glass of wine at the end of the day is a big factor.
I Tim. 5:23: Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
***literally changes direction more than the wind!***
Depends on which way the money(er, that is wind) blows. Toward you or away from you.
More than I can remember. The same with the new Ice Age, Ozone depletion, Population Bomb, Alacar Scare, and many more that didn't pan out. I don't believe any longer there are experts in any science field. I believe they now exist to create scary scenarios to continue their grants.
The biggest disappointment has been the medical community. They used to live by high moral standards, not so much now with this Wuhan Flu. I would never have thought that profits would supersede proven therapeutics, and the Vaxx proponents are still ignoring many proven studies. Now Fauxi is pushing Pfizer on our children. I'm too old to be a revolutionary, but where are the younger men to defend our children?
I’m 83, and on my 39th birthday:!
I stopped associating with:
Liberals.
Family members, so called friends who were negative and hostile?
Anyone, who was a back stabber. Drunks and abusive people.
I stopped drinking hard liquor and beer.
Wine became my once a day and one drink/glass at dinner time.
By the time I had turned forty, the above became my SOP!
Also, “All things in moderation was/is a prime operative!”
“Moderation in all things!”
The key to success, health, etc., is not doing, having, or consuming too much of a certain thing.
Red wine, dark chocolate, and coffee are often said to be beneficial to health—but always in small quantities. Again, Moderation in all things.
It seems to have worked.
“Sounds like a bit of a Gordian conundrum knot....”
Maybe for you.
Best,

Man lived to be 90 years old despite sipping wine at breakfast (and that was only the start). He got a lot done though.
Keith Richards might surpass him but he's got 12 years to go. Will he make it?
Medicine is not “science”. It is practice. It has some workable technology. But no medical treatment works 100% on everybody. Science is based on repeatable experimental results. A fulcrum works the same way every time. Acids and Bases react the same way every time.
Medicine has no such features. It is not science at all. It is an art with some workable techniques. That is all.
Moderation and self-control is the rule. Drinking alcohol in itself is not a sin. Drinking to the point of drunkenness is sin. It is also sin by Paul's teachings to drink around someone who has Christian convictions against it or someone whom it might mislead.
I do find it ironic psychiatrist would object when they pass out antidepressants like candy many times without any patient education as to potentials for some rather nasty and even hallucinations as known side effects.
I have seen any number of people kill the joy of their host by proclaiming they are "on a diet" and not going to eat any of the lovingly and painstakingly prepared dishes or drinks.
If you are moderate 95% of the time you can indulge in things, even to excess, without doing any damage.
If you are allergic or have an actual problem with alcohol that is a different thing but you can always go back on your diet tomorrow.
Ten million Frenchmen grit their teeth...
How bout you drink it at night? Followed by tumbler of brandy?
If consumption of alcohol was so deadly the human race would have become extinct about 5 millennia ago.
It is postulated by archeologist that the invention of beer led to the rise of civilization, the explosion of human population and a human lifespan beyond the age of 30.
