Eh, I'd argue that. My grandfather has a glass of red wine every night. He's 98 years old and still lives by myself.
cool, way to take a 1 off and try applying it to the population as a whole. on average that is 100-130 calories extra a day from the 1 glass of wine a day. We have a population that is on average overweight and over 40% are obese....do we really think adding an extra 100 calories a night is healthy? you realize that even if they ate at maintenance calories, that 1 glass of wine adds up to 1lbs of fat gain per month. 30+ over a 30 year period.
and we wonder why america is fat. got fricking idiots that think...hey let me have 2 beers a night, thats healthy....then they dont exercise and go home and have chicken fried steak over mash potatoes and then a brownie with ice cream for dessert while sitting on the couch binge watching some netflix series until midnight. then finally off to shower and bed to do it all over again

what a ridiculous argument.
With your silly argument ANYTHING can be considered unhealthy if it causes excess calorie consumption. This shouldn't be news to you if you're so passionate about healthy weight, but in your scenario it's not any one thing that's unhealthy, it's the overconsumption that's unhealthy.
A perfectly fit person could have a cookie a day in a "healthy" capacity. That's not to say cookies are healthy.
My response was to the premise that any amount of alcohol everyday is unhealthy. I'd argue that's not true if the person doing it is healthy in other capacities.
