To Wine or Not To Wine?

During the holidays, the wine flows freely at my house. Wine's the best of the alcohols, right? That's what we tell ourselves anyway. But one has to wonder, considering recent reports that the metals in wine are linked to Parkinson's and cancer. Plus, apparently, wine drinkers are most likely to drink too much. Egads. And yet, it's still true that wine is healthy for your heart. What's a wine lover to believe?
I, for one, believe in moderation -- living healthfully 90 percent of the time and giving myself a break that other 10 precent. I also believe that if we abide by every study on every food that causes whatever disease or condition, we're not really enjoying ourselves. I believe in enjoying the good things in life, all at once -- good food and libations with good family and friends. I believe in making up for indulgences with an extra long run on Monday.
What's your take?

I believe in finding the right balance. Humans are happiest in a delicate state of unique and ever-changing balances: Whether too hot or too cold, too full or too hungry, too much work or too much play, we become miserable. Each person has a different balance which shifts around as we grow or age, so the answer is going to be different from person to person, and even from time to time within the same person.
