Is wine better than the hard stuff?
Alcohol is alcohol. Dilution does not matter, only the amount of alcohol consumed,
particularly the peak amount of alcohol that you put into your system.
Never drink yourself to intoxication. When you start feeling the effects of alcohol, stop. If
you have a problem doing that, you may need to reconsider consuming any alcohol at
all.
Always eat some food along with the alcohol that you consume.
Minimize your consumption of fructose. That includes table sugar, HFCS sweetened
sodas, "fruit juice", etc. Fructose can damage your liver on its own by a mechanism that
is very similar to alcohol (formation of aldehydes), and it will multiply the problem
potential.
Don t drink "grain neutral spirits"; alcohol products with no flavors of their own. Alcohol
acts as a solvent carrier for many flavoring and coloring compounds that are not soluble
in water on their own. Use the presence of alcohol for this purpose.
Never use alcohol to self-medicate, such as for a muscle relaxant or sleep aid. There are
safer and more effective medications for these purposes.
