Hi folks. With all the problems with alcohol seemingly rampant in the UK
lately - for various reasons, cheapness, accessibility, street-cred, etc.
etc. - it seems to be the fashion in the media lately to clobber drinking of
any kind.

There's a kind of grudging admission that One Glass Of Red Wine Is Good For
You, but that's it!!! Without going into a long argument about what is, and
what isn't, sensible drinking - we're all adults here, hopefully - how is it
that people in Europe have been drinking wine regularly for years
(centuries, even!) in moderate quantities, and haven't had the promised
"epidemic" of liver disease and all the other nasties?

There was a prog on the telly the other night maintaining that even a couple
of glasses with a meal was bad for you! I, personally, can't deal with
this! I'm getting a conscience every time I have a glass of my latest
lovely homebrew! Help !!!!
