The best thing I saw was a documentary on how the modern style of
wine
drinking - just a glass or two a night was giving rise to an
increase in
liver problems amongst those who don't see themselves as heavy
drinkers
at all.

I suspect they were drinking more than "a glass or 2". Or using big
glasses.

What is it now 21 units from women and 27 for men? thats a glass or
two
of wine 6 nights a week.

So that should safe then - in fact drinking at that level has been
shown to *increase* life expectancy.

It might result in a slight increase in liver problems, but should
reduce heart problems (and far more people die of heart problems than
liver problems).

I do feel better for knocking the drink right off - just a glass or
two
of wine on a Sunday and thats it.

How much were you drinking before?
