Quite a few studies show that a glass or two of wine is actually good for you. The health benefits aren't sufficient enough to warrant starting to drink if you don't currently drink. But the health risks associated with moderate wine consumption are not a source of concern for me. Your OPINION is that it's not a good idea. Fine, you don't have to drink My OPINION is that it's okay for me to have an occasional glass of wine, and I will. Why don't we agree that this is a point that reasonable people can disagree on? -Charlie
