Uh, no.  For one thing, your body can't process the alcohol as well.  Also, you can get benefits that are just as good by drinking either concord grape juice or 100% pomegranate juice.  Welch's has a great organic concord grape juice and in the organic/natural section of your grocery store, you can find a pomegranate juice that is 100% as well as unsweetened.  It's good! Either of those will give you great benefits.  According to Doctor Oz (author of You an owner's manual), you need to eat garlic, tomato sauce (10 Tbs), spinach, olive oil, salmon and pomegranate juice at least once a week for health benefits.  Good luck!  Way to be proactive!

A nice bottle of wine.  Oh wait, never mind.  You're not 21 yet.  Maybe get him a bottle of N/A champagne.

Not directly.  It (even the diet kind) can cause obesity, which is a risk factor in some cancers.  It can leach calcium out of your bones and raises your risk of diabetes even if you only drink one a day.  It can eat the rust off of nails and clean a car battery, so I don't think it is easy on your stomach.  If you like the caffeine, switch to green tea, it is much healthier.  Also, soda (especially citrus flavored clear ones) can contain benzenes at 20 parts per million if it is exposed to light and heat.  The safe limit for benzenes in drinking water is .05 parts per million.  The FDA declined to regulate soda because, they said, people drink more water than soda!  I think this is untrue.  Many teenagers don't drink water at all and indulge in several sodas a day.

As for Pro's of Drinking and Driving...I don't really know of any.\n\nPro's for alcohol use in general? - Red Wine has several uses including Religious Ceremonies, Health Benefits...White Wine is good for cooking...Stronger liquors such as Whiskey or Tequilla can help you with colds...you can use it as a numbing agent on Baby's when teething...Bailey's is used in that one layered cake timamasu...\n\nAnd, it is a theory that man did not begin growing wheat to make bread, but rather to produce beer.

Red wine has been scientifically proved to be beneficial to the heart no more than one glass per day.It contains antioxidants

I suggest the Dandelion which has been known for its herbal remedies since ancient times.  It gets a bad rap for being a weed.  Dandelion wine is susposed to have healing properties as a blood purifier and antioxident.  The full source is below.

The Old Testament prescribes a little wine for depression and for the stomache ache, but cautions against drunkeness.\n\nThe New Testaament tells us that Jesus made wine, good wine, for a wedding,  That's why we believe marriage is holy but drinking is a sin. (Yeah, I know.  I don't understand it, either.)

There are SOO many different kinds of reds. I'll list the simplest kinds for you, lightest to most full-bodied....\n\nPinot Noir\nShiraz\nMediterranean Reds (typically table reds)\nRed Zinfandel\nMerlot\nCabernet\n\nKeep in mind that there are far far far more than I have listed, but this will give you a general idea. As far as reducing your cholesterol, although it is true red wine contains an antioxidant that prevents the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, there are risks connected with excessive alcohol intake. Higher intakes of vegetables, whole grains, fish and olive oil may achieve the same heart healthy benefit without the risk. Besides, alcohol actually increases the risk of other potential killers including cancer.\n\nDryness of a wine (tannines) deals only with taste. The longer the skins of the grape are left in the fermenter or the aging barrel, the drier the wine. Just find what tastes good to you.

Garlic is very good for you, so yeah, it's more than okay. \n\nWhen I cook with it, I saute in a bit of olive oil making it soft, not for a long time either, if we overcook it, it loses it's health properties, so just slightly is best.  \n\nIt's super good with lots of recipes. Years ago, I would eat the bulbs raw, but it's much better cooked with pasta or food. Just tastes better.\n\nI use Kyolic odorless capsules on a daily basis.\n\nGarlic protects our tissues, has antioxidant properties which protect us from free radicals, lowers total serum cholesterol along with lowering our LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases our good cholesterol (HDL). \n\nIt increases our circulation, is good for our heart, the list goes on and on. As you can see, yes, Garlic is very good for a person, so nothing bad can come from eating it.\n\nI would have your friend ease up a bit, it will start to eventually come out of her pores and she will smell. Capsules are much better over all.

You don't say where you live, but if you can find a southeastern USA muscadine based wine, you will get the best combination of sweetness and high levels of resveratrol, the compound in red grapes and wine thought to help reduce cholesterol.\n\nI've friends who like the reds from both Dennis Vineyards in Albermarle, NC and Duplin Winery in Rose Hill, NC.  Other southern states (SC, GA, AL, AR, KY and LA) will likely have wines that fit the same criterion.  Depending on where you live, some of these wineries may be able to ship direct, or steer you to a local source.\n\nAlso, Google the word "resveratrol" and you'll find lots of information about the research into red wine and health.

As far as I know, it should help. Very healthy to drink.

Grapes are filled with nutrition that our bodies need. (Cut from the link below): "Grapes are rich in anthocyanins, flavones, geraniol, linalol, nerol and tannins. Experts believe these compounds protect against cancer. In addition, red grapes contain resveratrol which is believed to help reduce cholesterol and protect the heart. Grapes also contain some potassium. Grapes are also beneficial for cleansing and detoxing the system." It also notes one cup of grapes equal 114 calories. It is healthy...\n\nBut I also know too much of anything is bad for you...a whole bag of grapes and a whole bag of potato chips certainly have differences, but regardless. As long as eating a lot of grapes isn't a part of your daily lifestyle, I see no wrong in it. The important thing is to eat a variety of foods that give you a variety of nutrition.

The simple things are alcohol content and sugar content.\n\nBut each wine, even each bottle of wine, has its own mix of thousands of organic chemicals, in differing quantities.  These give the wine all those funny characteristics that you read about (oak smells, blackberry, melon, etc)

Does it??? I know a glass a day of red wine is supposed to be good for you.\nMen shouldn't go above 14 units a week (or was it 21, lol)\nBasically everything in moderation!!

Yes, keep it in moderation or don't drink at all if your doctor says not to. Some wines actually cause attacks.

go ahead and give it to her. I'm 13 and have been drinking coffee since i was like 5. it won't affect her, it might make her tired or hyper though, but that doesn't really hurt.

The health benefits of apple cider vinegar can't be achieved with white vineger or any othe vinegar.  It isn't just that it tastes good, it has a different chemical makeup than the others.
