Is it normal to drink wine every night?
Andrzej JJan 19, 25
A survey among general practitioners revealed that a daily intake of wine larger than 600ml for men and 500ml for women is considered harmful by some healthcare professionals. This further supports the notion that 750ml of wine each night may be excessive and potentially detrimental to health 3. What would you say? Is it normal to drink wine every night?

        There's a big difference between drinking in moderation, and drinking a bottle. I would expect the better question to be - is it healthy to drink wine every night?

            I don't drink wine but I have a good friend who's 80 and she drinks a glass every evening with dinner. To each their own and yes definitely in moderation

                Drinking wine in moderation has its pros and cons. While enjoying a drink every day does not make you an alcoholic, be on the lookout for these warning signs. While the consensus on wine is polarizing, researchers do say that drinking it in moderation is not bad for you. Alcoholism is not defined by how often you drink but is more about the reasons you drink. A person who does not stop drinking, even when they face negative consequences, can have problems with alcohol. When a person drinks beyond his or her limit, they can experience vomiting, blackouts, overdose, or death.

                      It's not the wine...it's the alcohol!! 750ml, which is a standard bottle is far too much for healthy consumption. That's equal to 6 full strength cans of beer every night. Not good and these days getting expensive.

                        It all depends on the individual. The US Surgeon General has now told us that Wine is a carcinogenic so I suppose Discretion is the answer. Personally I don't, I only have a glass whn I have visitors and, as my Mum and Dad used to say "Only when the sun has set over the yardarm". Most weeks I don't have any alcohol at all. 750mls every night? Thats an entire bottle which, to me, seems like an very large amount. But Each to her/his own.

                            I don't drink very often but I understand it's very normal in France to consume wine with the evening meal.

                                    Perhaps if you live in Italy. A glass of wine with dinner is not unheard of. For me a glass or two a week is about right.

                                      If every night means none during the day, that only equates to one glass per day, which previously had been recommended as being good for a person.

                                              Is it normal,it shouldn't be. But probably is for some. My family is European,I dated an Italian for quite a while. So from there perspective absolutely normal,it's what they do. But they don't drink our wine. They make their own,chemical free,fermented wine,recipes handed down for generations. It tastes different,usually for ladies it's mixed with sparkling water and it's to aid digestion. I don't agree with it as children are given this too( watered down) . It's their culture. My ex boyfriends parents did this every day and both lived to their late 90's.

                                                "Normal" ...well, almost anything is "normal" if done repeatedly and purposefully. In this instance, it's a choice...nothing wrong with "occasionally" ....but speaking as a former drinker, ..."occasionally " can become frequent enough to be your "normal"..

                                                          it isn't abnormal, everything depends on what study you listen to,i don't listen to any if you enjoy a glass of wine every night go right ahead and enjoy it , i have a couple of sips of bourbon every night,im doing ok couldn't run a marathon but I chase two little grandsons everyday

                                                            In countries like France, it is considered normal to have wine with the night time meal. Wine is supposed to be good for digestion. Moderation does seem to be the key. Not every one chooses to drink wine or drink wine on a daily basis.

One week a silly study "proves" something is good for you, the next week another silly study "proves" it is bad for you. The idiotic way the media reports these silly studies simply adds to the confusion and potential health dangers. The reality is that for most food and drink, consuming them *sensibly* is fine, but having excessive amounts of anything is dangerous (including plain water). Just eat and drink whatever you want sensibly, and do what your doctor tells you to.

It also says it can be good for your stomach at 1 Timothy 5:23. I've heard that a 'little' wine is good, but, to each their own. I don't drink any alcohol myself. Can't stand the taste! ;-D

The Bible doesn't condemn drinking, but condemns getting drunk. It doesn't condemn eating, but condemns being a glutton, and it doesn't condemn sexual relations, just having relations out of marriage, or with a married person. Our Memorial service passes bread and wine, but we don't partake. That privilege is reserved for the anointed, the 144,000. Go to jw.org and research the Bible. All of the answers are there. ;-D

And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things." Jehovah's Witnesses are doing this worldwide work because the end of this system is drawing near. Please read Psalm chapter 37 and Revelation chapter 20. May Jehovah God Bless You! ;-D

Depending on their job and how they de-stress Personally I have never done so, but have a friend who is mental health nurse and she needs it to help her lower her after shift stress. It is normally only one glass she has. Think the problem maybe for some they part take to much volume

But over all no it is not normal for people specifically American's to drink wine every day. It is not a sin to drink wine or an alcoholic beverage in moderation meaning you do not become intoxicated. Even scripture tells us a little wine for the stomach is okay and the only time one has harder drink is when they are greatly in pain or suffering in sorrow. 1 Timothy 5:23 (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.)The key as these scripture show us it to do everything in moderation and wisely 1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; 1. Psalm 104:14-15 He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts. 2. Ecclesiastes 9:7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. 4. Romans 14:21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. 5. 1 Corinthians 8:9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 6. 1 Corinthians 8:13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall. 7. Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissension's, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 8. Luke 21:34 Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap. 9. Romans 13:13-14 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. 10. 1 Peter 4:3-4 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do–living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. 11. Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise. 12. Isaiah 5:22-23 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink. 13. Proverbs 23:29-33 Who has anguish? Who has sorrow? Who is always fighting? Who is always complaining? Who has unnecessary bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? It is the one who spends long hours in the taverns, trying out new drinks. Don’t gaze at the wine, seeing how red it is, how it sparkles in the cup, how smoothly it goes down. For in the end it bites like a poisonous snake; it stings like a viper. You will see hallucinations, and you will say crazy things.

It shows in opinion, that God is your priority. Whatever the issue's at heart is. Likewise God is my source, in a somewhat odd earth events. We seem to be finding ourselves in these days.

However, excessive and habitual drinking can pose significant risks to your health and overall well-being. It's ALWAYS a good idea to consult with a certified, licensed healthcare professional - if you have concerns about YOUR alcohol consumption.

I don't think a glass with dinner does any harm. People in my family have done that and none of them had health or drinking problems from it.
