Hm. I think, I have to disagree with your claimed health benefits. As you correctly pointed out, the conducted studies were mainly done with animals, especially mice. This is something, which was 2013 already criticized by Lachenmeier et al.
Furthermore they stated:
On the basis of the result, that more than 100 glasses of wine would have to be consumed to reach a pharmacologically active dosage of resveratrol, our research clearly discredits any consumer recommendation to drink wine in order to indirectly ingest resveratrol for a cancer-protective effect. We agree with Vang et al.[6] that not even the intake of resveratrol in the form of supplements appears to be currently justified for the prevention of cancer, as experimental data and clinical evidence to indicate such a use is lacking. On the contrary, one clinical trial about resveratrol supplementation was halted because of observed adverse effects.Therefore they close with:
Our initial question can clearly be answered that resveratrol in red wine is not able to protect against the carcinogenic effects of ethanol.
I'm not suggesting, you should stay away from alcohol at all - if you like the taste and feeling, go for it. I do like a nice glass of whisky or wine myself. But you should keep in mind, it's probably quite unlikely, that it benefits your health in any way.
hehe i don't claim the health benefits especially the resveratrol ones. I just stated both sides and why they think it either helps or not. The brain benefit study is in my opinion something to be checked as it is a study that is relatively new and published yesterday so it may prove to be true or at least be ''true'' till someone else bust the myth.
I don't disagree with any of what you said and also i wanna point out that if somebody wants to drink alcohol badly and at the same time being as healthy as he can then except the balance levels he/she should look the nutrition or the pros and cons of each drink!
