[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a "ridiculous amount'?

Not tying to take from your story, but without a defined quantity, I feel like these posts are just troll attempts to scare the wine mommies who drink a bottle every night.

That isn't ideal but it's unlikely to kill you

Unless he had Hepatitis or other liver damage, a healthy man would need to drink something like 20 drinks a day for decades for it to kill him. This doesn't happen to Joe 6 pack.[/quote]

I truly hope that this PP gets a wake-up call and finds out that a bottle of wine a day is, indeed, extremely damaging physically, and will eventually have a mental, emotional, and social toll. No one should drink a bottle of wine a day.

PP, your focus on "defined quantities" misses the point entirely. You seem unaware that saying it "isn't ideal but it's unlikely to kill you" sets a very, very low bar. It may not kill you--yet--but it'll destroy your life from the inside out.

The statement about how many drinks "a healthy man" would need to kill him is both insensitive and uninformed. You cannot generalize like that. Every body is different. But for any body, being a bottle-a-day wine drinker, is alcoholism. [/quote]
