Answer 7

From the articles I've read, it's healty to drink 1-2 glasses of wine per day. It helps the heart by providing relaxation. Red wine in particular has a chemical (reservratol?) that provides further antioxidant benefit. The key is not to go overboard, I think it's 1 glass tops for most females, 2 for most males. Hope that helps!
