To be clear: He didn't condemn ANYONE, he expressed his feelings about the substance directly. What you imply from it is entirely different.
Also it would, in light of BF misinformation, be appropriate to site your sources when everything I have read over the years says the benefits are independent of the alcohol content and the health benefits exist before it even becomes alcohol... where as the ads that advocate the heath benefits are funded by that particular industry... a conflict of interest in my opinion. Nutritionists (non-sponsored) that I have seen over the years seem to believe that the energy content and the damaging effects to you liver seem to outweigh any long term benefits of the anti-oxidants found in the [wine typically]. Again, not that I care personally, but still I feel the body of evidence is about the size of a single celled extremophile.
