Option 3

 * Article title
 * Red Wine Headache


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article mentions susceptible individuals but doesn't clarify exactly what makes them susceptible besides an enzyme deficiency.
 * It also doesn't discuss geographic effects between countries that more regularly drink red wine vs those that don't.
 * Headaches are relevant to epidemiology because the "cure" can simply be to drink less red wine, and it may take close attention to connect ones' headaches to their drinking habits as opposed to brain scans to determine a cause of headaches.
 * This article is tabbed as needing more medical references.
 * Additions to this article could include the geographic trends of red wine headaches and the difference between male and female impacts.
