Cleavage Creek Wine for Breast Cancer Research {Luxist}

Jan 24th 2010 4:59PM Rocky, the study does not specifically indicate "wine" as you point out; it actually says more generically "liquor". With wine having far less abv then most other liquors, wine is not as problematic as say vodka. Most wine drinkers are not consuming or imbibing to get a buzz, like their Martini sipping counter-parts. So before you run off at the mouth ranting and raving, take the time to look up the "study" you quote as evidence of how stupid cleavage creek is in regards to how they are trying to promote their charitable contribution. Here's the link to the article in question http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7906355.stm, it took me a just a few moments to find it read and understand the context of the study, I would suggest that you do the same in the future.

The government says no amount of alcohol is fully safe, but recommends women should drink no more than two to three units per day on a regular basis to have a lower risk of any harm to health. For men the recommended limit is no more than three to four units per day. A small glass (125 ml) of 8% abv wine contains one unit of alcohol. As with everything in life moderation is the key to living a long healthy life, while knee-jerk reactions to things read on-line maybe helpful for the exercise of "jumping to conclusions" I don't recommend it!

Cheers!
