Lately, people got confused by the contradiction of alcohol researches. As a conclusion of early studies held by the Australian Wine Research Institute, it’s found that
wine contains elements that are believed to reduce levels of bad cholesterol while boosting good cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of heart attack [Stuff.co.nz]
However, it’s also known that alcohol is dangerous for the liver because
alcohol metabolism permanently changes liver cell structure, which impairs the liver’s ability to metabolize fats. This explains why heavy drinkers tend to develop fatty livers [healthchecksystems.com]
It’s all your decision to choose whether to drink it or not. So, if you choose to do so, how to consume it wisely?
Well, only if you’re healthy, one drink per day (women) and two drinks (men) per day would be the maximum amount. However, it’s best if you take 2-3 days alcohol free in a week.
Why women’s consumption should be less than men? When entering the stomach, alcohol begins to break down with the dehydrogenase enzyme which reduces the amount of alcohol entering the blood by approximately 20%. Women produce less of the enzyme and as result, they get drunk easily than men.
Previously, I mentioned that you can enjoy alcohol only if you’re healthy. What kind of health anyway? I was referring to non-pregnant women, individuals not addicted to alcohol and not having any health problem.
To enjoy it wisely, try to sip each drink unhurriedly and with food, also consume plenty of water in between drinks.
IMPORTANT: Never drive while drunk!
Hm…let me also add something here…if you’re on a diet program, be careful! It might increase your appetite! 
PS: Just a reminder, please read below…some bodily organs you might harm if you consume alcohol unwisely…
