Indulging in a few glasses of wine or a couple of cocktails¹ may be a necessary part of life but unfortunately, there are no real benefits to the habit.

 

享用几杯葡萄酒或鸡尾酒也许是你生活中必不可少的一部分，但不幸的是，这个习惯真的没啥好处。

 

As it happens, those multiple glasses, or a bottle, of red wine can actually be quite harmful to your body - and wreak² havoc³ on your skin.

 

While there have been numerous studies done in an effort to uncover the health benefits of guzzling⁴ red wine, realistically, drinking more than a moderate amount can increase the risk of dementia and cause inflammation - which can increase the risk of cancer, depression, and heart disease, according to Dr Mark Menolascino, a doctor of internal medicine.

 

If that weren't enough to turn you off the habit completely, red wine also happens to be the worst drink for your skin of all the alcohol choices, according to naturopathic doctor, Dr Isabel Sharkar.

 

Speaking to Popsugar, Dr Sharkar revealed the unfiltered fermented⁵ grape juice can negatively impact your skin, especially if you have a condition such as rosacea.

 

Additionally, red wine is likely to cause "flushing, redness, and blotchy⁶ skin."
