Answer 1

Usually you are told not to drink alcoholic beverages while pregnant.  

Aside from that, I have read that a glass of red wine may be good for you (not during pregnancy).  

However, there can be cases where drinking alcoholic beverages can harm you, such as if you have liver damage or pancreatitis.

I don't know your medical situation or your condition and I am not a doctor, so I can only tell you in general what I know.  It is unfortunate that they are telling you different things, but, all I can say is follow your doctors advice.  If you are pregnant, have liver damage, or pancreatitis, don't drink.

Answer 2

Although alcohol is VERY damaging, if that is truly the extent of your drinking, then don't even think about it. There is debate over any health benefits or detriment from very moderate consumption, but the consequences of abuse are unflinchingly well-documented. Red wine is thought to do some good because the grape skins contain antioxidants; however, the detrimental effects of the alcohol would likely offset them. If you want antioxidants, eat grapes.

Answer 3

Unless you have a medical reason to not drink-including alcoholism-having a glass of red wine is probably good for you.  You're not gonna become an alcoholic on a glass a day of wine with dinner.  Otherwise, everyone with two nickels to rub together would be an alcoholic.

Answer 4

Red wine contains more polyphenols so has more antioxidant power. It's because of the pigment in the grape, white grapes don't contain near as much. Also, it helps increase circulation. The downside is it can also increase migraines and menstrual cramps. Dark chocolate is also very good for you, lots of antioxidants. Hope this helps!
