    I rarely ever drink because of the health risk, and I am trying to get away from drinking rarely, but that is just me. I say if a person wants to drink and they are of legal age then they should drink as much or as little as they want to. You better believe their bodies will let them know when they have had enough to drink. You have one life to live so let them live it up. No one can escape death or sickness so why worry about these things. Just live your life.

    It's simple. Some people can safely drink and some can not. Unfortunately the one's that can not find out after it's too late. Alcohol has been around since the beginning of time. It's referenced a lot in the good book but they also probably had poor water sources and availability as well. Science teeters back and forth on these issues. You know your body better than anyone else. True wisdom and intellect come from our maker if we just stop and listen. Smile. God Bless

    I recently watched a video from an Italian doctor. His comments concerning cancer were very much different from the way cancer is viewed by the doctors in this country. He discussed the fact that cancer is a fungus and can be removed from the body by simple injections of sodium bicarbonate. He showed patients before and after treatment. It was wonderful to see people healthy. That is something this country seems to know little about. We are a country of greed and excess. Everything revolves around drugs. A pill for everything. It is easier to swallow a pill that to take care of ourselves and prevent illness. No money to be made off of people who are well. I believe the drug industry and these so called medical researchers have no real interest in preventing sickness only in maintaining it so that people can merely get by in life. This is such a shame. I only hope that someday this will all change. That the people of this wonderful country will realize that they need to take their own health into their own hands. Changing their lifestyles and enabling their own bodies to be healthy which is a God given right and what the body constantly strives for. More health and more power to the people.

    I have lost 3 relatives to cancer. Not one of them drank. Just another ridiculous study.

    This is but another VIEW OF THE DAY article with suposed statistical evidence to prove the case. I would like to see something really useful like the effects on the body if you use aspartame. Of course I don't expect to ever see it as this would be totally adverse to the economic/political system. The truly paranoid might view me as paranoid but I've been in the kitchen long enough to take the heat!

    grape juice is beneficial as wine is, and no alcohol. surely there must be some happy medium to protect our beloved women! more, much more money is needed to be directed toward womens research. How about the money spent in Iraq, and overseas defending against this invisible empire so vehemently warned about. I get a little excited.
