Can you tell me what you suggest if you drink alcohol why triglycerides increases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is simple: The connection between drinking alcohol and high triglyceride levels? It’s all about calories! alcohol is full of calories (it’s also full of sugar) and all extra calories turn into triglycerides. The triglycerides are then stored in your body as fat. This means that high alcohol consumption can increase your triglyceride levels.
