I wonder where liquor stands

Evidently, Wine drinkers have better health than beer drinkers. This is a classic "No Carb" diet v.s. "Portion Control" question. The article suggests that beer drinkers buy less healthy foods but I ask, when can you ever buy the equivalent of a Keg of wine? Sure, a box of wine might be similar to buying a 30 pack as far as alcohol content but a keg of beer is over 5 times that. Just about the only thing that beer drinkers have going in their favor is that with the extra volume, you've got to pee a lot more often.

If you're looking for beer and $2 Corona and Miller Lights aren't your thing, the Brickskeller is near Dupont Circle on 22nd and P and has a huge beer list (claims the world's largest), although they don't always have all of the beers and they're almost all in bottles. If draft beer is more your style, RFD, near Gallery Place/Chinatown at 7th, claims to have D.C.'s largest tap. Both bars are owned by the same company although the ambiance is completely different at each with the Brickskeller being much more of a dive bar and RFD being a pick-up joint.

I haven't been to any of the "wine bars" in the District though I hear that Mendocino near Georgetown on 29th and M and Urbana near Dupont at 21st and P are the places to be.
