A member asked:

What does excessive wine drinking do to a female body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing good : In addition to risking the health of your liver heart and brain you would likely have increasing weight gain and risk significant obesity. Also you are risking alcohol addiction as well. Moderation is really the key here.
