Written on 6:39 PM by wanderer
its what happened when a very close friend of mine ANGEL and I decided to have wine first thing in the morning after duty. though am not a winey person but i still want to give myself a chance to have one, just today. its been a year since I had my first wine and that was red wine, i swore, cursed and promised not to have it again, it was like drinking 70% isopropyl alcohol. and the experience was like burning my esophagus with a liquified fire. but the one i had today was white wine, it was like a yucky-sour-yummy-one more glass please taste.

for medical matters, some researcher said that wine can help to reduce the risk of acquiring cancer and other cardiovascular diseases due to is component like flavonoids and anti-oxidant but some opposed that wine and alcohol contributes detrimental illnesses to people, i think IF TOO MUCH INTAKE.
here are some facts about: effect of wine and alcohol to the body.
What about red wine and heart disease?
Over the past several decades, many studies have been published in science journals about how drinking alcohol may be associated with reduced mortality due to heart disease in some populations. Some researchers have suggested that the benefit may be due to wine, especially red wine. Others are examining the potential benefits of components in red wine such as flavonoids (FLAV'oh-noidz) and other antioxidants (an"tih-OK'sih-dants) in reducing heart disease risk. Some of these components may be found in other foods such as grapes or red grape juice. The linkage reported in many of these studies may be due to other lifestyle factors rather than alcohol. Such factors may include increased physical activity, and a diet high in fruits and vegetables and lower in saturated fats No direct comparison trials have been done to determine the specific effect of wine or other alcohol on the risk of developing heart disease or stroke.
Are there potential benefits of drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages?
Research is being done to find out what the apparent benefits of drinking wine or alcohol in some populations may be due to, including the role of antioxidants, an increase in HDL ("good") cholesterol or anti-clotting properties. Clinical trials of other antioxidants such as vitamin E have not shown any cardio-protective effect. Also, even if they were protective, antioxidants can be obtained from many fruits and vegetables, including red grape juice.
The best-known effect of alcohol is a small increase in HDL cholesterol. However, regular physical activity is another effective way to raise HDL cholesterol, and niacin can be prescribed to raise it to a greater degree. Alcohol or some substances such as resveratrol (res-VAIR'ah-trol) found in alcoholic beverages may prevent platelets in the blood from sticking together. That may reduce clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. (Aspirin may help reduce blood clotting in a similar way.) How alcohol or wine affects cardiovascular risk merits further research, but right now the American Heart Association does not recommend drinking wine or any other form of alcohol to gain these potential benefits. The AHA does recommend that to reduce your risk you should talk to your doctor about lowering your cholesterol and blood pressure, controlling your weight, getting enough physical activity and following a healthy diet. There is no scientific proof that drinking wine or any other alcoholic beverage can replace these conventional measures.
i think there is nothing wrong to have wine or even red wine as long as its in moderation. you should consider and be responsible to the effect you will acquire at the end, if you will take it too much or beyond body requirements. you should be aware on the do's dont's, advantages and disadvantages in everything you want to have to avoid any complications, and those complications are sometimes, fatal and may cause death.
for me, i promised myself not to have wine maybe after 6 months, and realized that am not really into wine---ing, not really interested to it, something I dont consider as good as having dark choco milky drinks, lol.
so ... spare me that wine after 6 mounts, and the countdown starts now.

White wine, with fish and assorted shell fish, is the recommended choice, and red wine with meats, poultry and other foul. But any wine with friends and a meal is an adventure ingood health, never fear on a glass of Chablis. The bear named Teddy!
