So the message is that drunks should be sure to increase their consumption of red wine in order to keep from destroying their livers. But reservatrol is available without resorting to red wine: "The skin of red wine grape berries yields red wine catechins in chemical extraction. Among these catechins, the compound called resveratrol is the most active and is used by the grape plant itself to deter gray mold growth on the berries. While the red wine catechins can be extracted from purple grape juice and red wine as well, the compound resveratrol is the most abundant in the immature or raw grapes as these have the greatest susceptibility to mold - the content of resveratrol is also high in grapes that are grown in damp climates, such as those in the Long Island, New York based vineyards. http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_grape.htm
