Although red wine has antioxidant effects, abstinence from alcohol, especially in patients with cerebral infarction, is still recommended in clinical practice, regardless of whether it is white wine, beer or red wine. Although there are some clinical studies that confirm that moderate alcohol consumption can protect the cerebral vasculature and improve circulation, these studies are small samples with non-randomized controls and no direct cause-and-effect studies. And a large number of studies have confirmed that alcohol consumption can aggravate diabetes and hypertension and is not conducive to the control of diabetes and hypertension, which are important risk factors for cerebral infarction, so alcohol consumption is not clinically recommended to prevent cerebral infarction or improve recovery from cerebral infarction.The 2019 Chinese guidelines for cerebral infarction prevention state that patients are advised to abstain from alcohol, whether they drink in moderation or excessively.
