First some wine is good for you. Then bad. Just like with eggs. No one can make up his mind. I’m just going to drink myself silly and let future-me worry about it

This goes against most of the studies I’ve seen that say wine is good for you. WTH?

Wine is good for your heart, but it will give you cancer.
Coffee is bad for your heart but it will prevent cancer.

A single glass of wine every day will increase your risk of cancer.
A single glass of wine every day will decrease your risk for heart disease.
Flip and coin and have a glass of wine.

“France bowing down to the muslims again...”
That was my first thought when I saw this.
Nowhere have I seen evidence that what is being posted here is true. Wine is one of the oldest beverages. Time, if nothing else, has shown that when drunken IN MODERATION that it has no harmful effects.
There are too many real life examples (especially in France of all places) of people that have had a glass of wine with their dinner their entire lives with no harmful effects. I can’t believe the French people would actually take this seiously.

I would have to say that the positive effects of having a good glass of wine far outweigh the negatives.
Cheers!

There’s no science behind this - it’s driven by France’s ever growing Muslim community who will never view itself as part of the French society and in fact wants the destruction of France.

It’s France. They have no say over my Bourbon. They can keep their wine anyway, I’ll drink American if any, and that’s not much...
