Take a little wine for your health

One report tells us that alcohol in moderate quantities could help memory :
There is some evidence suggesting that mild to moderate alcohol consumption can protect against diseases like Alzheimer's in humans,” said During. “But it's not apparent how this happens.”

And another tells us that modest amounts may help protect men from heart attacks.
among men with healthy lifestyles, those who consumed moderate amounts of alcohol -- defined as between one-half and two drinks daily -- had a 40 to 60 percent reduced risk of heart attack compared with healthy men who didn't drink at all.

Which is good newss on both fronts for me on my 5-10 units a week. It really is for medicinal purposes but the fact that it's red wine which I enjoy can only be a bonus!
