Yes and No: Any alcohol, red or white wine, beer, liquor, can cause constipation and /or diarrhea or other GI problems. Sulfites in wine are also a major culprit.

Any: Form of alcohol is a diuretic meaning you lose more fluid than you take in and hence excess especially when combined with caffeine excess can lead to dehydration and constipation.
