Should middle class drinkers fear for their health?

[AB Asks]

The middle classes are causing severe damage to their bodies according to surveys. Drinking wine almost every evening is causing irreversible damage. The constant press surround Binge Britain where youths are drinking excessive amounts has made headlines, but this is reported to be just as serious. What do you think? Do you drink most evenings thinking that this is a safe way to unwind or are you aware that several drinks in the evening, although you may not feel drunk, is causing liver damage?

I used to drink the red stuff and particularly liked Californian and Australian varieties. Problem was I only needed to have one glass and I could not get to sleep at all, not even for an hour. So now have given up having it. I then heard that it is made with lots of chemicals rather than the way the French and Italians make it and it is those that affect us. Anyone else had the same problem?

[China Doll]

Not really.

In fact too much red generally has the reverse effect and knocks me out for the night. But then my preference has been chillean for a while so I don't know if that makes a difference?
