This subject comes up all the time, a social drink I suppose is okay, I like the special occasion rule myself. We have all worked hard to be healthy I prefer not to take chances! However, I think worrying about everything we do might be worse than the occasional glass of beer.
I drink 2 cups of coffee per day and I love it and nooobody better tell me to give that up..
