- alfredscakes, on 04/30/2009, -0/+16Thank goodness - this means I'll live for at least 30 years more than I would have before I started drinking wine.
- Walwyn, on 04/30/2009, -0/+15So you sure it boosts life expentancy this time?
- floridiot2, on 04/30/2009, -0/+14How is it *****? You just said it works.
- RumpleForeskin3, on 04/30/2009, -3/+15And smoking weed makes 5yrs feel like 10yrs. So smoke up.
- gooseofmercy, on 04/30/2009, -5/+16This is pretty much BS. Its been proven that people get the same health benefits from drinking grape juice everyday.

- robdiggity, on 04/30/2009, -0/+9Just think what a whole box per day could do!
- Julie188, on 04/30/2009, -0/+9And drinking a half bottle a day will make life so fun that you'll want to live forever.
- xsecretfiles, on 04/30/2009, -1/+9But is it half full or half empty?
- synthsrkl, on 04/30/2009, -0/+8it's twice as big as it needs to be
- Elohir, on 04/30/2009, -0/+7Goddamn, I have 30 years of back drinking to do.
- broevol, on 04/30/2009, -1/+8Yeah, but they won't get laid as much!
- Natitude, on 04/30/2009, -0/+6Yeah, this really does need to be taken with a grain of salt. There is a fine line between the amount of wine that does the body good, and the amount that makes you look 65 when you're only 42.
- CrankMyBlueSax, on 04/30/2009, -0/+6No, but it makes it easier to have sex with ugly people.
- recruz, on 04/30/2009, -0/+6*comment about how drinking even more will allow me to live even longer*
- frostbyt, on 04/30/2009, -0/+6Eat Less. It is proven that eating less calories prolongs your life by a substantial amount.
Eat More: Foods rich in antioxidants like dark chocolate, blue berries, and wine.
Workout with weights 30 minutes 4 days a week. Walk, jog, run 1 hour a day. - GnralHavoc, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Fountain of youth. NOW LETS GET HAMMERED!!!
- lnxfi, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5whhhhaaaaaa??????
Time to switch to vodka - attn2risky, on 04/30/2009, -2/+7dunno why you're being dugg down, but i totally agree with you.
- CrankMyBlueSax, on 04/30/2009, -1/+6I've been surprised at how often honesty is dugg down.
- Mazrin, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5Ok, I want to see a study on a non-alcoholic version. Is it the alcohol, or is it all the other stuff? I like to drink, don't get me wrong, but what's actually giving the benefit?
- MyMainMan, on 04/30/2009, -2/+7The problem is that many take this as an excuse to drink more than that. "They are doing something healthy".
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5The right amount can make the person flirting with you look 42 when they are 65.
- LordVance, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5Lol, dugg for box of wine :-D
- shredswithpiks, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5Does it have to be 1/2 glass a day, or 1/2 glass a day average? Can I just drink 4 glasses on Friday and call it good for the week?
- BoneStamp, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5I have some catching up to do.
- screensnot, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5I drink a half glass a day.
But, I'm a bit of a redneck. So a glass, to me, is a quart-sized mason jar. And I drink bourbon, not wine. - OneNaturalOne, on 04/30/2009, -0/+4this
***** epidemiological studies are so worthless - inactive, on 04/30/2009, -0/+4The only time I stop at half a glass is if the wine tastes like crap.
- bpoteat, on 04/30/2009, -2/+6Well by deductive reasoning, if half a glass is worth 5 years then 1 glass is worth 10, 2 glasses is worth 20, and so on.

Actually the article's assumption is wrong. It could be that people who choose to drink small amounts of wine daily have personalities that promote eating healthier. Wine could be associated without actually having any effect. And the more articles like this are published, the more it will be true that people who actively try to maintain healthy lifestyles will statistically drink that amount of wine. - ShadyG, on 04/30/2009, -1/+5I always wondered if these studies simply proved that those people capable of moderation, and those without addictive personalities, live longer on average. Is it the wine or the sample bias that's responsible for the results?
- SuPirch, on 04/30/2009, -0/+4I believe that... And I follow this advice of course ;)
- EtherGnat, on 04/30/2009, -0/+4Unless it is in a vacuum it is completely full--half with wine and half with air. End of argument.
- Burrito, on 04/30/2009, -0/+4Wine = grape juice = not *****.
- rrife, on 04/30/2009, -0/+4Beer is like wine, right?
- tyrulz, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3unfortunately the emphasis here is a "half a glass" of wine
- HakonD, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3There's always crack.
- dbhalla, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3OR JUST THE TEENSIEST BIT TIPSY X10^-8.
- Tyrghast, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3Yellowtail isn't the highest quality wine either...
- Megaloth, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3So do I.
- sprNmgcHlmt, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3really, that was once said? when was that?
- GVR90, on 04/30/2009, -2/+5Based on the amount of alcohol I drink, I will live forever.
- nepidae, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3You can find beer in any country that tastes like piss. However the Germans do make damn good beer (both light and dark).
- malenfant, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3The article did not make this assumption:
"These results held true, irrespective of socioeconomic status, dietary and other lifestyle habits, factors long thought to influence the association between wine drinking and better health." - zboyet, on 04/30/2009, -1/+4I drink 1 and a half bottles a day so I should live like 100 years longer. Sorry I can't do the exact math right now I am pretty drunk.
- itsbob, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3I'll drink to that
- multiformat, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3So Krispy Kremes don't fit in to this plan at all huh?
- Tyrghast, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3Only American beer tastes like piss. Go to Germany, find the darkest beer you can and try it cus it will blow your mind.
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3You're ruining it.
