Drawing from his decades of experience in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Dr. Dasgupta shows:
- What exactly it means to drink in moderation in very practical terms.Why it is better to drink alcohol with food, than on an empty stomach.
- That red wine is superior because it contains many beneficial antioxidants present in grapes.
- Practical guidelines on how much alcohol is safe for different groups - women, men, people over 65 years old.
