Well. What exactly are you expecting in this case? It seems quite unlikely that any study will conclude that alcohol = good. The glass of wine a day myth has not really been supported by science, and everything seems to indicate that alcohol is bad for you.

It's just a matter of how much damage is done, and a bottle of wine per week is a lot.

[Err_Eek]

A bottle of wine has 8 standard units of alcohol, and the British NHS recommends keeping the intake to < 14 units per week, so a bottle of wine per week should be well within the perfectly fine area.

Not true, the relative increased risk is abysmal even for 2 glasses of wine per day. Yeah the j-curve does not exist but it's not as nearly as dangerous as some other stuff we do.

A bottle a week would (depending on glass and bottle sizes) be about a glass a day.
