Yes. Drinking alcohol (beer, wine and distilled spirits) is associated with better health and greater longevity than is either abstaining from alcohol or abusing it. It is a myth that only red wine confers health benefits. Both beer and liquor tend to confer the same health benefits as red wine; the benefit is found in the alcohol rather than in a specific beverage.
No. It's the high antioxidant concentration of berries in the wine that provides the health benefits and not the alcohol. This is why people who drink wine in moderation (1 - 2 glasses a day) tend to have a lower chance of chronic disease, cancer, among other benefits. For people who love to drink wine sure go ahead in moderation. For those of you who are non-drinkers, No do not start drinking just for the health benefits. Instead consume Grape Juice, green tea, and a vareity of fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants (high ORAC value).
