Wine: "A white or red liquid containing alcohol that is usually found in the cabinet in a glass bottle. Once indulged, one might do things he/she might normally not do, and have a great time doing it." AKA the best drink ever and a girl's best friend. Whether we are looking for a relaxing night in or a wild night out, wine is always there to support us and accompany us along the way.

1. Wine understands our money problems.

Are you about to get the e-mail that your bank account has fallen below $25, yet you're still looking to have a fun drunken wine night? This is what boxed wine and cheap bottles of wine at Walmart are for.

2. Wine allows you to express your feelings.

Wine may be the reason as to why there is obliterated, crying girls in the corner at most house parties, but it also is the reason behind many girls friendships growing after the wine kicks in and causes them to repeatedly tell each other how much they love one another.

3. It is the perfect addition to a girl's night.

Girls night could mean going out with the girls, or it could mean staying in and gossiping over an abundant amount of wine, and the more wine you drink, the better the girl talk gets.

4. It's proven that a glass a day keeps the doctor away.

As if we didn't have enough excuses to drink wine, now we can say that it's actually healthy to drink. (Although we all know none of us are drinking only one glass.)

5. Wine is comforting.

There is nothing better than rewarding yourself with a glass of wine, or entire bottle, after a bad day. Wine is like a magical potion that makes you all giddy and happy no matter the situation.

6. It makes us feel classy.

Every once in a while, it's nice to sip on a classy drink and pair it with some good tasting food rather than getting wasted off of vodka/tequila, etc. and then shoving any and all (usually fried/greasy) food down our throats.

7. You can make sangria out of it which means you can get your daily dose of fruit in for the day.

I mean technically wine is made from grapes so you're getting your fruit either way, but if you want a more realistic explanation of how you'll get your serving of fruit while drinking wine, have sangria which is chopped fruit mixed in wine.

8. It gives us a sense of confidence.

Other alcohols give us the "it's OK to dance on top of a bar and embarrass yourself in front of everyone" confidence, where as wine gives us that "you're a bad b****" confidence that all girls need every once in awhile.
