And it can, you know, cause mutations in cells and it can cause cell damage, which we know can lead to, you know, cancer growth. So you want to minimize whatever you’re going to do to damage your cells and mutate your cells."

"I think this has been a long time coming, I think, they’re just trying to get this information out to the general public that, you know, again, if you’re going to drink, you have to be aware that there are health risks associated with it besides the common ones that everyone is familiar with."

"So I think having that reminder of that label right there in front of the bottle is just to be a little bit more mindful that, okay, I’m drinking, I’m still going to enjoy my drink, but I’m aware that it could potentially, you know, cause my body some harm. And maybe I want to minimize how much I’m really doing of this."

"You know, there’s there’s been some studies with red wine and maybe some cardiovascular benefit. But I think as a whole, you know, the balancing, if you if you’re going to get cardiovascular benefit, it’s better to do it with with exercise and with diet rather than, you know, drinking red wine."

"We used to say moderate drinking is okay. You know, one drink per day for women, two drinks per day for men. You know, that was kind of the what doctors were kind of preaching to their patients for many years. I think that’s changed now. I do not tell my, I tell them moderate drinking is, you know, maybe one a week, maybe two a week, if that. You know, if you if you want to if you want to get some alcohol. I think daily drinking and again this is my opinion is is not a safe thing to do anymore now that we know the full dangers of it."
