Drinking Hypothetically Better Than Smoking?!


Question: For someone of average size, healthy, drinking one glass of wine (for example) every night is better than say half a pack of smokes a day, right? Because of the build up in the lungs right? Just curious, and I am not talking an alcoholic or about the risk of becoming an alcoholic, or anything about gateway drugs, etc. Just an honest question, gimme an honest opinion. Thanks.

Smoking is horrible for your health DON'T DO IT. However, drinking in moderation 1-2 beverages for the female/ day and 2-4 for males/ day is the Recommended moderation. Red wines are high in anti-oxidents that help purge your body of anitbodies think of it like this. Alcohol is a blood thinner... you don't want it too thin do you? Smoking is a mucous thickener (why you cough more) you don't want thick mucous do you?

well alcohol makes build up in your liver, but a glass of wine a day is good for you.

Smoking a half pack of cigarettes a day is definitely worse than drinking one glass of wine per night, UNLESS, you have liver disease.

Yes you are correct. Your better off drinking one glass of wine each night, rather than smoking any cigarettes at all during the day. There has actually been research done that says drinking one glass of wine each day helped people live longer.

There are not any physiological benefits to smoking. There are some benefits to a little wine, anti-oxidants etc.

i think that smoking is worse than drinking by like a little, but u still die...
