a shot of bourbon a day--good or bad? (red wine, whiskey, shelf)

[Angorlee]

Ive heard that a shot of bourbon a day is good for you but then one hears a lot of different theories on those sorts of things. If its true I wonder if it is any better than a shot of apple cider vinegar a day. Maybe they do the same type of thing like thin the blood.

my doctor tells me to drink a small drink before bed time to help with my sleep problem and it working like a charm so far and make sure the brands are the high end type not low shelf type of alochol because of how the alochol is distilled by the brand so to get out alot of the socalled bad distilling that some of the socalled cheaper brands do not do

i tried the pills and they did not work and left me not all there in the mornings ..so we tried a small drink measured out in a shot glass poured out into a regular rocks glass and then i come home take a shower and relax and drink the small shot before i go to bed and it seams to work for me ..

I meant a shot of brandy

No harm in a shot a day. A bottle a day - that's different story...

if you are doing it for "medical" reasons, most docs recommend a glass of red wine each day, sometime before bed.

we tried a couple of things and he goes try a shot of whiskey before bed for a week and see what that does so far because not beening able to sleep at night ..

so he told me to try a small shot poured into a rocks sized glass and drink down about a hour before bed after haveing a hot shower and it seams to work like a charm and iam getting a solid 5 hours a sleep a day before it was broke up into basic two hour stetchs a day of sleep if i would get that at times

so we tried something that has worked for me now for about a year time frame and because i do not really touch alochol but a small drink it seams to relax me enough that iam not fighting sleep like i would before he started me on the whole thing of a shot of whiskey a day ..

My granddad took a shot of Wild Turkey 101 every morning. He lived to be 92.......
