Blomster et al. should be appreciated for producing most interesting data which may be used for prevention of complications of alcoholism in patients with type 2 diabetes [1]. It is known that wine consumption can provide protection against adverse effects of alcohol due to presence of flavonoids which have antiplatelet effects [2]. The French paradox is the observation of low coronary artery disease (CAD) death rates despite high intake of dietary cholesterol, total and saturated fat [2]. This concept was formulated by French epidemiologists in the 1980s but became more popular after its description by Serge Renaud in 1992 [2]. In France, there is low CAD incidence and mortality. The mean energy supplied by fat was 38% in Belfast and 36% in Toulouse in 1985–86 and in 1995–97, the percentage of energy from fat was 39% in Toulouse according to a representative population survey [2]. The exponential nature of the relation between average alcohol consumption and mortality has been demonstrated in a recent study from Russia [3]. This study revealed that substantial numbers of people report drinking three or more half-litre bottles of vodka per week. However, the exponential curves for dose-response relations between average volume of alcohol consumption and the mortality risk of various diseases is not fully explained which may be due to presence of confounders. These confounders may be either protective factors or other coexisting causes of death and health behavior patterns which may be responsible for variability. How many subjects consume red or white wine and how many times in a week, because wine appears to be a functional food if taken in moderation. It would also be interesting to study the effect of moderate alcohol verses drinking more than 10 drinks per week, because moderate drinking appears to be protective against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It should be noted that aging of whiskey increases 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity which may
