A member asked:
Is a glass of wine on an empty stomach any more damaging to heart or liver than when taken after a meal? sure feels better when had before a meal! :)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To the stomach, yes: Wine taken on empty stomach allows the absorption of alcohol to occur faster which is why it feels better. However it's effect on the liver and heart are not changed. It can affect changes in your stomach however especially the stomach lining.
