Denzel: Wine habit did ‘lots of damage’

Denzel Washington has come clean in a new interview about being “clean” for the past 10 years, adding his voice to the growing chorus of scientists, doctors and others who question the idea that regular consumption of wine is good for a person’s health.

“I’ve done a lot of damage to the body,” Washington, 69, has said in a lengthy new interview with Esquire. He opened up about how he developed a 15-year daily habit of heavy wine consumption — up to two bottles a day.

“Wine is very tricky,” Washington said. “I learned to drink the best.”
