I Should Read More News

Last year I read a newspaper article (read it here if you fancy) about wine - clearly an important subject in any 20-somethings daily life!! It was a little distressing and, for a while, actually cut my wine consumption (don't fret though...I went back to the cocktails and vodka & Redbull). If you don't fancy reading the article it was basically saying that 2 glasses of wine a day can increase the risks of mouth / throat cancer by 75%.

Then...a few weeks back, in the same paper was this article. In short this article says that half a glass of wine a day can increase the same risk as above by 168% (I feel the odds are against us with the Telegraph - they clearly don't have a wine sponsor!).

Now for the best news of all read this article...again, the shortened version, a glass of wine a day could decrease the risks of oesophageal cancer by 56%. OMG, can you believe this!?

Ok, so I just need to know...how can I get the wine to my oesophagus without actually drinking it??

I've heard many things about drinking red wine - good and bad. I drink it anyways ;)

I celebrated the 3rd article with 2 mojitos - didn't want to push my luck with the wine before I got my IV paraphernalia (to avoid the throat whilst drinking!). x
