Lots of people were upset by a recent NY Times article that said alcohol isn't healthy. I'm sorry to report that this is not news: the reason you thought a glass of red wine was good for your heart is because of the booze industry buying bad science https://skepchick.org/2023/01/sorry-to-be-a-buzzkill-but-no-alcohol-has-never-been-healthy/
I did get the impression that red wine in moderation was good for you as it has anti oxidants. Like anything, it is good in moderation, but too much is not good for our health.
@zleap >as it has anti oxidants.
I'm not aware of any studies that have conclusively proven that anti-oxidants alone are good for you.
I remember hearing about some study (from a reliable source) about smokers that were given anti-oxidant supplements ended up with worse health outcomes from the death sticks compared to the control group.
If you want anti-oxidants, you're better off eating the red grapes alongside vegetables, instead of drinking rotted grapes that have partially turned into a strong neurotoxin.
You really only should be drinking water - any other drink is unhealthy, as no fun is allowed.

Fair points there, it does show that the media can over hype things, or report things badly and without sources it is impossible to read where they got their information usually.
