There are plenty of 'experts' (and websites) that will tell you that its the anti-oxidant resveratrol in red wine that helps to protect drinkers against both cancer and inflammatory problems (such as arthritis). However that view is challenged by the NHS:

Harp Lager is 5% ABV. 3 pints of Harp = 8.5 units of alcohol.
A typical red wine is around 13% ABV, so a 0.75l bottle contains just under 10 units of alcohol.
The NHS recommends that men should not drink more than 3 to 4 units of alcohol per day on a regular basis (where 'regular' = 'most days of the week').
The foregoing is simply factual information and most definitely not 'preaching' (because I'm in no position to do so!)
