Wine and Good Subjective Health
From the Järvenpää Addiction Hospital, Haarajoki, Finland, and the Departments of Mental Health and Alcohol Research and Epidemiology and Health Promotion, National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland.
The association of subjective, self-rated suboptimal (average or poor) health with the intake of beer, wine, and liquor and alcohol intoxication was examined in a general population sample in Finland in 1992. The odds ratios were adjusted for several possible confounders with the use of logistic regression analysis. Compared with subjects who drank no wine, suboptimal health was less frequent among both men and women who imbibed 1–4 drinks of wine, and more common among men who consumed 
10 drinks of wine or liquor. Moderate wine drinking seems to be related to good self-rated health. Am J Epidemiol 1999;150:47–50.
