Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Brest size: The majority of breast is fatty tissue. There is chest wall muscle that underlies it. Beer contains a lot of carbohydrate & empty carbohydrate calories can sometimes lead to weight gain. The natural ways to have sustained increase in breast size are puberty, pregnancy and weight gain.
