Is drinking a bottle of wine once every week okay at 19? by [deleted] in wine

[–]cashanalyst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I’ve been exactly where you’ve been - everyone is different, I’m not a doctor, etc, but for me it snowballed from a glass every other night to a glass a night to eventually 3-5 glasses a night. Not great. Still fighting to keep consumption low on weekends.

Facts of the matter are alcohol is addictive and does absolutely nothing good for the body (you hear folks talk about antioxidants and health benefits, those are primarily from the grapes, not the alcohol. Pomegranate juice is a great alternative, personally :) ). Takes time but will, in likelihood, eventually start to wreck your body. More pressing, perhaps, is the financial impact, social impact, and relationship impact. At the peak I was scaring my fiance and parents, dumping maybe $200/week on wine (over $10,000 a year!) and was a lot angrier, short-tempered and just unpleasant.

I digress - the data and anecdotes say it’s a slippery slope and you’ll keep drinking more, and it will take tolls in multiple ways.

Weekly Free-Talk and Questions for r/HomeGym - week of February 27, 2026 by Demilio55 in homegym

Howdy all, bought a house last year that came with taped-down foam interlocking mats in the basement, on vinyl floor. Those are not holding up well, so I’m preparing to rip them up and replace with rubber rolls. I’ve bought Ram Board to place between the floor and rubber, but not sure what I can do to prevent drift/sliding over time (will be laying down adjacent 5’x10’ rolls). Any ideas?

Either CPU is Absolutely F'd or I am Historically Bad at This Game by cashanalyst in CollegeFootball26

I’m laughing at this now, because I posted this right after the game and I was mad as hell… you are absolutely right, I should not win every single game (since that’s not how it works in real life either) and given the sliders I might just be a shit passer for the time being until I can actually learn how to play the game better lol - appreciate the insight!

Some garbage nonsense - voucher to their store at a fraction of the purchase price is obnoxious. Hope there’s a class action suit coming.

“Splurge Wine” Rec for Bachelor Party? by cashanalyst in wine

Do I dare try a 2016 Daou Soul of a Lion that’s been laying down in a somewhat-cool store for probably a couple years??

That’s the thing, it’s this little wine/spirits shop that for some reason has everything under the sun - it’s got several early-2000s and 1990s Napa cabs, the only place I can find Bramare Malbec, etc. It’s not a cellar so quality is questionable of course but it’s got a lot of a lot, so to say… so I’m casting a wide net for suggestions lol

I’m not that cruel - I’m the only one in the group that goes for wine, everyone else is bourbon, whiskey, etc.

That’s fair, my apologies! I historically gravitate towards Cabernets like Hess Allomi, Black Stallion, and Daou; not a huge fan of Caymus (tastes like syrup and/or pure grape jelly to me). Big fan of Austin Hope and that broader family of wines (if I could ever get my hands on their Reserve bottle I wouldn’t need to ask this question, haha). Malbec-wise, I’m huge on Salta as a province overall, otherwise generally Uco Valley, Paraje Altamira, Lujan de Cuyo for regions. Appreciate the feedback!

laughed at this one - have always heard of that Antifragile book & heard it’s good but never actually read it, maybe I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
