      Depends on the person. I’m content only have 1 at a time. I don’t have an addictive personality though. For some people this is great advice. Others, it doesn’t affect.

      I feel like there’s a subtlety here. Ocassional Glass of wine with dinner versus binge drinking.

      Of course the problem is that the first drink makes then next one more attractive and degrades impulse control… so YMMV.

          I drink pretty much only on the weekends and that’s pretty seldom.

          Is one glass of wine really that bad though? Like compared to a glass of grape juice? Because of the sugars and calories and is alcohol in this percentage range (approx 14%) enough to cause damage to your liver over time?

          Again I’m talking about one glass

      I’m going on holiday to Greece next month, so have decided to forgo my usual weekend ales until then. Partly to be a little more comfortable in my swimming shorts, but also because £10/15 a weekend adds up to a few cold pints of Mythos by the beach.

      But I was amazed at how fresh I felt last Monday morning after not having drunk any beer over the weekend.

        I had better seafood in Greece than anywhere else in Europe. Fresh grilled octopus with a squeeze of lemon, fried sardines, squid salad, everything just perfect. (Note: I haven’t done Nordic countries, and they might do cod/coldwater-fish/etc. better, but that’s be a different style.)
