Red wine before sleep
-
I drink a bottle every evening. It is damn good for you, full of good stuff like flavinoids, tannins, trace ellements etc.

I used to drink red wine in order to sleep, with great success. If I had trouble sleeping, a single glass of dry red before bed took care of that problem very quickly. More I cannot tell you.

please read my other post. BTW, i never heard of "drinking before going to sleep". If this is true, then we can call the guy an alcoholic. what cardiologists advise is one or 2 small glasses per day, during a meal preferably.

Well, yes. People like that drink before bed in order to forget their problems, but half their problems ARE because of drinking (poor judgment, bad temper, hangover headaches). It would make more sense for them to seek help, but alcoholism makes for a very troubled mind, so they are caught in an infinite loop if no one makes it a point to help them. Roswell

Anyone here drinks red wine before going to sleep (Not everyday of course)? If so, why? Reason asking this is that I heard it is good to the body in some way although i have no facts or anything to justify it. :~

When i was in france i used to have a small glass of red-wine every day (not before going to sleep) to beat the cold.

It has the same wonderful effect as drinking it at any other time, but avoids the sleepy pill for those who need and gives better rest for those on the fringe.

Beer, except in great quantities, has never helped me sleep. Beer is always a pick-me-up for me. Hops are supposed to be a relaxant, but I seriously doubt the quantity of hops used in beer is enough.

I've never heard a bigger load of crap! Nobody said they couldn't sleep without alcohol, and that would be the only indication of alcoholism apparent anywhere in this thread.

i dispute your ability to diagnose psychiatric problems without ever consulting with the patient.

I used to drink two-three pints of burbon whiskey or black-label whiskey (higher proof) to go to sleep, it worked even better. But I wouldn't recommend that, I still woke up to the same problems that were keeping me awake.

My anger, although maybe a little sharp[1], is, I think, justified. You state that is someone is drinking before sleep, we can call him an alcoholic. "BTW, i never heard of "drinking before going to sleep". If this is true, then we can call the guy an alcoholic." I am now calmer, yet still not happy that you make this assertion regarding someone's addiction to a substance based on, nothing, really. [1] I have a cold and am somewhat grumpy. If my "all of my anger" was a little much, I apologise.

and here is my point of view. drinking anything at anytime, especially when you're alone can be seriously considered as illness. Understand me well, I don't spit on alcoholic. most of them drink because they can't do anything else at the moment. I'm not a doctor, nor pretend to know how to fix them. now honnestly, do you drink before going to bed ? i mean, you feel good (not drinking to fix any sorethroat or what), not getting out of a diner with friends. you're simply alone, you didn't drink of the evening. Will you have a whole red wine glass just before entering your bed ? and to finish, how do you call addiction to drinking alcohol ? alcoholism, right ?

I don't drink anything at the moment, as I have alcoholic tendencies[1]. I do, however, recognise the difference between addiction and use. If I drink cough medicine to help me with a cough, that doesn't mean I am addicted to cough medicine. Likewise, if I occasionally use alcohol to sleep, it doesn't mean I am addicted to alcohol. If I regularly can't sleep without alcohol, and have the glass of red wine every night, yes, then I am addicted to alcohol. [1] I can easily do without alcohol, I just battle controlling it when I do use it.

Yes, it is. The danger is not trying to sleep naturally next time, but just using wine again.

I didn't take it personally, I just got irritated by your quick classification of someone as an alcoholic, when there are so much more factors that actually decide. I know several people that never drink alone, and neither before bed, yet are definite alcoholics compared to others that might occasionally drink alone or take a drink to sleep. I hope there are no hard feelings anywhere. I don't have any.
