Healthwise, is it better to drink a pint of red wine or a pint of Coca-Cola each day?

[barender]

Coca-Cola is v good for removing limescale so just think what it does to your stomach lining. It also will dissolve a snail shell (we did it at school)!

[barender]

Mind you, I don't think a pint of red wine each day would do you much good - 1 glass is supposed to be good for you as it contains certain minerals, but a pint a day is going over the top unless you use the coca-cola to descale your liver!

personally, a pint of red wine would make my head hurt and a pint of Coke wouldn't. (In health terms, it'd have to be Diet Coke, of course.) In smaller quantities, as barender says, a little red wine is supposed to ward off all those ailments the French don't have.

If its normal, ie full sugar, coke, then in about a year you will have gained five stone and lost all your teeth!

A pint of wine every day will have the same effect on your weight, but will have shot your liver as well.

One glass of each per day would be fine, even benificial, in the case of the wine.

pint of coke - you could exercise more to counter act the increased calories and you'd be absolutley fine (might need to brush your teeth a bit more aswell). However a pint of wine a day would make you drunk (so no exercise after that) and eventually damage your liver, plus the problems with dehydration caused by alcohol (and your teeth would get stained red)...

jno Diet Coke would NOT be better in health terms.  it contains aspartame.  Google that and see what you get.  Not a substance you want to ingest very often.

i agree with barender i heard about it too for good uses in the bathroom so god knows what it does to your body!!

oh god, you're right about Diet Coke. OK landlord, mine's a pint of Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2000, and not too much of a head on it.
