Ever since the time of Jesus, wine has been part of special occasions and it has been regarded as something special. Wine has been part of our lives especially on celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and even on Jesus' Last Supper. It has been studied by many medical doctors and scientists and they have come up with a conclusion that wine, indeed, when taken moderately, is good for one's health. However, when taken in excess, the results can be very dangerous. Worse, do you know it can be fatal?
Here are some reasons why you should be a responsible wine drinker:

1. Alcohol- Wine is a product of alcohol and starch being fermented and ingesting too much alcohol can be very harmful to your body.
2. Accidents- When people get drunk and they drive, they usually meet accidents. We usually read about drunk drivers killing an innocent bystander or drunk driver killed in a car crash in papers and in television news programs. You should be a responsible drinker, don't drink and drive or don't drive and drink. However, people are still reckless and they still drink and drive. Because of this lack of responsibility, many innocent people are dragged into the mess like those accidents.
3. Health- Though wine can be good for our health, when taken in excessive amounts, we are putting our health in great danger. We can suffer from liver diseases, hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, cancer and many more. Pregnant women should never drink wine because the child in her womb can have a mental or physical disabilities.
4. Mental- Consuming alcohol in excessive amounts can lead to addiction. This is when your body starts craving for alcohol. You become addicted to it and your personal life can even be affected. Not only are you risking losing your family and friends. You will also be risking that career of yours which may have taken you decades to build. Taking too much alcohol can lead to mental conditions like insomnia, memory loss and depression.
When taken responsibility, wine can be very stimulating, relaxing and refreshing. But how many glasses of wine is considered moderate drinking? Studies have shown that drinking two to three glasses of wine daily is good for our health but anything more than that is considered excess and can be deadly. One more thing, it is suggested that the best time to consume wine is after eating our meals. This is because drinking wine with an empty stomach is hazardous to our health because it can lead to thinning of your ulcers and your intestines. So when you are planning to go out with your friends or with someone special, don't forget to drink wine in moderate amounts and don't drink and drive.
