Everything I've read said one glass of wine a day is good for your heart. Even if you take Tylenol, Ibuprofen or alleve, the cautions mention it's bad if you drink several drinks every day.
A lot of doctors tell pregnant women they can drink one glass of wine a day. Research shows that light drinkers live longer than nondrinkers, but they're not sure if it's the heart benefits, or that nondrinkers are just more (I will use a polite term and call it less relaxed)
Not that any of this applies to me. I drink lite beer but it ain't one. I was always good on the number of days a week, until a couple years ago when I became underemployed with the economy.
At first I thought OP was a wine snob. I had no idea Canada was taxing alcohol that high. Must really suck. Canada is just as drunk as the U.S. Here we have relatively high booze tax but mostly they are trying to tax cigarettes out of existence. They are going to have to legalize weed because eventually the revenue loss on cigs is going to be big.

I have actually heard similar, and googled it just out of curiousity.
http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/pregnant-women-glass-wine-day-fine-study-article-1.1375559
Not too long ago people used to get schwasted while pregnant.
And yeah, the US has super cheap alcohol compared to Canada and Australia - not so sure about the UK, but given the fact that COL is usually a bit higher in Europe I wouldn't be surprised if it were significantly cheaper here.

A glass a day is fine and healthy according to many studies moderate drinkers live longer than binge drinkers and people who don't drink at all.

Drinking a lot of alcohol can be severely harmful, but a single glass of red wine a day is not going to hurt anything and helps keep you healthy.
http://parentingsquad.com/yes-you-can-drink-while-pregnant
It's a misnomer that you can't drink AT ALL while pregnant. In heavy moderation, a drink of red wine isn't going to hurt the fetus. Taking it to excess and getting wasted would.
The surgeon general's warning began after a study of moms who had 5-6 glasses of wine per night. Fetal alcohol syndrome is due to abuse of alcohol while pregnant.
Source: my chick is 9 months pregnant and multiple doctors and OBs have told her that a glass of red wine every once in a while is perfectly fine and actually healthy. Just don't get drunk or drink more than one a night they say.
She hasn't been drinking aside from a sip of sangria here and there, but the information is out there. Baby is 110% healthy.
Also beer is recommended for nursing mothers to stimulate breast milk if they are having trouble.

Well, I wouldn't know for sure, I've just heard that line my whole life!
Plus I aint no pregnant woman.... or even a woman, so it isn't something I've really researched.
Still, I'm not really a fan of toying with my childs health. I'd go completely sober with my partner if they were pregnant. Just me though. Not judging anyone who wouldn't.
A glass of red wine is somewhat ambiguous though. Some peoples ideas of "One glass" is one hell of a giant glass...

Yeah I thought that too. But it's a common misconception. Everyone knows red wine is healthy for you in moderation. Turns out the same is true for pregnant women. Some doctors even recommend it. But one glass means one glass... not one 32 oz glass.

I forget but I think UK had closer alchool prices to the US. I've been to all the countries mentioned, Australia is the worst.
When I lived in Spain I noticed cost of living was higher for everything than the united states exccept for alkohol. I found plenty of bars where a euro would get you a pretty large mug of beer.
Back then I didn't know anything about alcohol, I drank sangria and caba (the Spanish "champagne") and I remember it being pretty cheap overall.

Another thing Japan and Spain have in Common: you can buy beer in vending machines, and drinking alcohol in the streets are national pastimes
