The best time to drink wine is before dinner.
When people go to bed at night, it is the best time to nourish the liver. If you drink alcohol at this time, it will increase the burden on the liver, because most alcohol is metabolized in the liver, and the liver is working overtime when people are resting. The purpose of nourishing the liver cannot be achieved. The best time to drink alcohol is before dinner, which can maintain health without damaging the liver.

Three avoidances when drinking red wine:
1. Avoid pairing it with seafood
Generally speaking, red wine should be paired with red wine. Meat follows the rules of gastronomy itself, because the tannins in wine combine with the proteins in red meat to make your digestion "smoother." But if red wine is paired with some seafood (such as crabs, prawns, etc.), the taste of the seafood will be seriously damaged, and the wine itself will even have an unpleasant metallic taste.
2. Avoid mixing vinegar with "drinking"
Various salads usually do not affect the style of wine, but if vinegar is mixed in the salad, it should be mixed with red wine. If you eat it, the taste will be greatly reduced. At this time, you might as well choose lemonade, because the citric acid in it can harmonize with the character of the wine. Plus, cheese and wine are a natural pairing, just be careful not to pair spicy cheeses with refined wines.
3. Avoid drinking in large amounts
Experts believe that 50 to 100 ml of red wine is appropriate each time and should not exceed 250 ml per day. Professor Dole from the United Kingdom pointed out that the mortality rate of people who drink a moderate amount of alcohol is 28% lower than that of people who do not drink at all. However, if this limit is exceeded, the mortality rate does not decrease but increases. Excessive drinking is not only an important cause of diseases such as liver cancer and cirrhosis, but also causes endless social problems.
