A lot of people reckon the small glass of wine is necessary to help digest the ridiculously fatty food without absorbing the fat

See the French Paradox

As far as I know there isn't any scenario where drinking wine is healthy and I say that as a french guy. Alcool being healthy or good overall for your health is a myth no matter the amount. You might gain some on some aspect but overall it will never be better than good food and a glass of water.

Yes, this is boring but science is pretty clear about it and we obviously had this debate many times here.

Just because we make a lot of quality wine and good food doesn't make everything healthy.

I think a long time ago kids were getting a bit of wine at school lunch so we are not an example here. We have a wine lobby that tried very hard to reinforce the idea that a "little glass" of wine is good and that without excess it's fine. Truthfully no amount of alcool is healthy. I still drink a beer here and there but alcool will never be healthy and I know it.

I'd say that, in reference to small amounts, there's a difference between "bad for you" and "won't actually harm you" but I'm not going to argue with your point

[-] itsralC@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

I'd put it as "you won't actually perceive the damage"

[-] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 2 points 5 months ago

Exactly. Even drinking a ml of alcool will hurt you it's just that the damage is so small you can't measure it.
