MODERATE red wine consumption has actual health benefits beyond the buzz. While the American Heart Association cautions people NOT to start drinking if they do not drink alcohol alraedy, I don't know those type of people so this post obviously isn't meant for AA types. Benefits of red wine:
* High in antioxidants
* Decreased risk of heart attack
* Lower risk of heart disease
* Moderates cholesterol levels
* May help prevent blood clots
* Reduces blood vessel damage caused by fat deposits
Keep in mind that drinking empty calories can lead to weight gain if your diet isn't balanced. My supergirlfriend starts her calorie count with her nightly cocktail and goes backward through the day to determine how many calories her other meals should be. Whatever gets you through! (p.s. here's how to get drunk not fat)
Half-nekkid diet: have a beer

Is this like ANY red wine or should I avoid guzzling the boxed stuff?
Keepin' it classy! (I <3 boxed wine too...it gets the job done at a value)
As long as it is made from actual grapes, then you're good! The Resveratrol are Flavonoids are both said to have health benefits. Obviously you could just eat grapes, but what's the fun in that?
Bad news: None of this means mean gettting shit-faced drunk is good for you. A glass or two at dinner is considered "moderate"
