"I'd rather see you drink a glass of wine than a glass of milk. So many people drink Coca-Cola and all these soft drinks with sugar. Some of these drinks have 8 or 9 teaspoons of sugar in them What's the good of living if you can't have the things that give a little enjoyment?"

He is recommending that rather than alcohol consumption sugary beverages like Coca-Cola, it is much better to drink a glass of wine. He is suggesting that a glass of red wine is a much healthier alternative to sweet beverages, which it can still bring us satisfaction. He is also recommending that life ought to be enjoyed, and that it is okay to have the things that bring us pleasure, as long as it is done in moderation. LaLanne is promoting for a well balanced way of living, where we can enjoy the things that bring us satisfaction, while still keeping a healthy and balanced way of living.
