A member asked:

If one glass of wine is good for health, are two better?

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

One is enough: Increasing to two glasses of wine has not been associated with health benefits greater than a single glass per day. In this example, there are some believed benefits of very limited amounts of wine (typically a red), but excess intake can be harmful to your health. Everything in moderation is a smarter path.
