So, four glasses will prevent arthritis?

Excellent. I'm probably immortal by now.

seriously? so my pack-a-day habit can be counteracted by just forty glasses of wine? Wonder of wonders.

Two Buck Chuck, here I come.

cool - I get through about a bottle of red per day, I suppose I can take up smoking again.

if i drink a bottle, can i smoke a pack a day?

suspend the harmful effect that smoking one cigarette has on the functioning of arteries.

Your lungs are still farked.

Not to mention the arteries that are no longer functioning.

"Drink up,Shriners!"

/Carlin

But what we need to know is its effect on smoking crack. Cause it seems like a lot of people these days must be smoking it.

It's official: becoming an alcoholic makes smoking A-OK!

time to start smoking again

so..uh...whats good for pot?

/asking for a friend

the impact to your arteries is actually one of the least significant effects of smoking.

Bullshiat. Smokers have a 3-6 fold higher risk of heart attack than nonsmokers, even if you control for other variable. Furthermore, this risk increases in a dose-dependent manner with the number of cigarettes daily. Smokers also have an increased risk of stroke, hypertension, and other vascular disease. Please do not pretend you know what you are talking about, as it may result in injury to others. Have a nice day.

The scientist were French... just trying to increase the sales of wine througout the world. Vive le France.. farking communist...

This is exactly the reason that the lay press should not be reporting on scientific findings like this!

The conclusion you should draw from this study: In a very small number of people, drinking red wine increased their serum polyphenol levels.

Concluding that drinking red wine will counteract the effects of cigarettes requires several leaps in logic from that finding and has NOT been even remotely proven. Unfortunately, asshats all over will read this and conclude that they can continue to smoke as long as they do some drinking to go along with it. Nice.

nomales: "But what we need to know is its effect on smoking crack. Cause it seems like a lot of people these days must be smoking it."

To couter the effects of smoking crack, said wine must be of the MD 20/20 variety.

"Researchers said Sunday there were enough beneficial chemicals in two glasses of red wine to suspend the harmful effect that smoking one cigarette has on the functioning of arteries. ....."

So how many BOTTLES of wine does a pack a day smoker need to drain? :-)

A factually inaccurate headline and a misleading article all in one. Now all we need is a nice flamewar to seal the triumvirate.

I smoke a pack a day (20 cigarettes), so at 2 glasses per cigarette, that's 40 glasses of wine. At 8oz of wine per glass, that's 320oz total per day or a little more than 3 gallons of wine for my current smoking habit.

My question is do I drink a bit less when smoking lights and does Boone's, MD 20-20, or Thunderbird count as wine?

Atleast it explains why wine-o's can smoke and never die.

Two glasses of red wine gives me a boner. I know a hottie or two that would consider it a smoking hazard. Does this count?

so can somebody answermitsubachi's question?
/ also asking for a "friend".

to drinking and smoking; the cause and solution to all of life's problems!

So, is wine the miracle liquid? If so, why can't I drink any?

mitsubachi

Um.......Doritos?

can't I just eat grapes?

By that same logic.....

now if they could find a cure for cirrhosis of the liver.

Delay: So, four glasses will prevent arthritis?

It will in at least in one elbow!

MODS...please delete previous :P thx!

Hmm... alcoholism vs. addiction to tobacco. Fair tradeoff?

2 glasses 1 butt.
For a pack a day habit that's about 40 glasses @ 4oz each = 160 oz. WTF is this a promo for the Betty Ford Clinic?

Edsel u r a f*cking pussy

For those of you who didn't read the article (short though it was) they used Greek red wine. Enough with the French-bashing, already!

I suspect the beneficial effects were caused by the layer of varnish. (Try a glass of Retsina, and you'll understand what I mean.)

F*ck France!

I kinda forgot that i asked, but thanks...person that answered...

/goes to drink tall glass of doritos.

So if I have a 3 pack a day habit- drink like 60 glasses of vino and I'm all set?

now if they could find a remedy for coughing up BLOOD.

..and then get piss drunk
