I am actively involved in making sure I am healthy! Go figure. NB: this is obviously in context of high blood pressure, and I didn’t do the ladies, and I am sorry for that. But this is CURIOUS!!! DATA! I am not lying with statistics, but I always hate these studies. I assume this stuff doesn’t quantify really, really active people who also don’t mind a nightcap.
So, check my math. You can have one “less than an ounce” aka .84 ounce drink, 2.5 beers, OR 4 GLASSES OF WINE… and you can be more likely to develop high blood pressure.
Okay. I know that wine is good to prevent heart disease because it limbers up the cardiovascular, as a dangerous layman might conjecture.
But to think that it is so much less likely to raise blood pressure is fascinating (In normal quantity).
Well there ya go tho. That’s some datas. Disparate studies and reports, disparate bodies and measurements and translations of measurements. I bet I got the math wrong.
This is all just to admit that I don’t mind a martini. But I am getting older, so it’s fine.
I thought it was Susan Sontag, but I can’t find a reference (thanks Michael Krasny’s off the cuff comment)…. “People try to live as old as possible without every really living”
The nightcap is fine.
