red wine quantity

[bridgehorse]

winnow and foodie, thanks for your replies...it is nice to see that i am not the only one who values red wine as a great friend and can console with it..i have been drinking red wine since i was 16, but then it was just a glass every month here and there behind my familys back..i always train myself not to drink if i have to get up early in the morning. i powerwalk 2 miles a day and my diet is good except when i drink red wine, at that point i have thin sliced pizza, cheese, cheese and cheese..it never fails, the red wine makes me do it..my problem is i do not drink water while i am drinking, so i am up half the night drinking water everytime i drink. the good thing is that i do eat something before i drink as well as take the necessary vitamins...
