Aye but you don't normally drink 12 pints of wine on a night out lol
The average French person over 14 drinks a bottle and half of the stuff a day and they aren't as a nation renowned for being fat or suffering high rates of heart disease like we are, so wine's a bad comparison as it's supposed to be good for the ticker as it mops up free radicals.
You can't beat a cold beer in the summertime heat
but a few glasses of red are gorgeously scrummy at this time of the year
