Wine - Healthy or Hazardous?

It seems like almost every day the "experts" are discovering something new about the health benefits or about the dangers of drinking wine.
In the same week from the same wine publication were two articles: one was about how drinking red wine benefits the heart and the other about how drinking wine causes cancer.  COME ON!
How about we just forget the deluge of conflicting information and use a little common sense:
If you drink too much wine in a short amount of time, you will get drunk. This is not healthy.
If you constantly drink too much wine, you will get fat. This is not healthy.
Constantly drinking too much wine can turn you into an alcoholic. This is not healthy.
If you drink while driving, it is not wise, and could end up not being healthy.
Savoring a great glass of wine with a loved one is one of life's great pleasures. How can this not be healthy?
Enjoying a great bottle of wine with a fantastic meal is is good for the body and soul. How can this not be healthy?
Drinking wine or Champagne to celebrate a special occasion like a wedding, birthday, anniversary or birth of a new baby is something we enjoy and remember. Good memories make you feel good. Feeling good is healthy.
Simple.
I'll drink to that!
