I call shenanigans. I drink red (cherry and grape) wine quite often and am more sunburned this year than ever before!

obviously, you need to drink more.

I've had more red wine this year than I have in past years and I got super sunburned this year, and I was fine other years.

It's worth a shot.

no, no, no... when you're out in the sun, you're supposed to submerse yourself in it - the tannins block 85% of UVA rays when properly submerged!

The bad part is when you so hammered , and the cop asks you to step out of the car you start dancing, woooo... to the cop-car lights thinking you made it to another club.

I've got an unopened bottle in my fridge, seems to be easier on my stomach ulcers than beer.  Its good to know, the link is broken, but I googled it.  At this point in my life the sunlight bothers my eyes, and if I ever have to work another shift someday, I'm going to be pretty fucked trying to adjust to it.

Apparently its flavonoids behind it, they're also behind estrogen antagonization, that's why wine to me is the manliest form of alcohol.
