Just had a glass :) But, good to know it potentially has a positive effect on the waistline!! Yikes…I don’t like reading the breakdown of what one serving of wine is…Wine is my thang.

I know if I have a glass of wine in the evening, that would more or less be my "treat" versus say dessert. Perhaps we do replace one treat with another instead of having both. I hardly drink just cause it is just me and I hate to open a bottle for one glass, which is usually what I have. Great post! Very interesting.

As to whether that's a reasonable assumption, I can't say for sure. Plus, the factor of women replacing regular food with alcohol...although this is exactly why any more alcohol than in moderation would definitely be unhealthy.

Drinking alcohol doesn't make me feel good - I wake up groggy and feel crappy - even after 1 glass of wine. I hop this doesn't cause people to "drink" to lose weight!

Maybe those who drink do so with a home-cooked meal. Besides, if you’re eating drive-thru meals you’re not swigging a glass of wine, too. Or maybe people who drink wine do it for health reasons and therefore have other healthy habits.
