Switch to red wine ladies

So I freaked out when I read this one: "a single alcoholic beverage daily may increase a woman's risk of developing invasive breast cancer by 9 percent. Drinking just over two drinks daily may increase the risk by 32 percent."

Not good. Not good at all. And apparently beer, liquor and white wine are all guilty vices. But red wine ... that's not on the "bad" list. So it is time for me to start pouring Cabernet at 'Happy Hour' instead of Pinot Grigio. Not sure if I can make the switch, but apparently alcohol consumption influences our estrogen levels ... Lord, have mercy on us all!
