A recent study suggests that consuming three glasses of wine daily substantially decreases the risk of stroke  Critics of the study, defending earlier research recommending one glass of wine daily, claim that binge drinkers (who drink once a week or less, but drink three or more drinks when they do drink) are the people most likely to drink three glasses of wine in one day and are more likely to die from sudden heart attacks than are other drinkers
According to these critics, drinking three glasses of wine daily would not benefit health overall, since the decrease in the risk of stroke associated with that level of consumption is negated by its associated increased risk of sudden heart attack
presumes, without providing justification, that there is no significant difference between wine and other alcoholic beverages in terms of health benefits and risks
