British scientists examined exactly how the consumption of beer, wine and schnapps affects the organism. Alcohol affects the formation of unhealthy body fat.
Red wine drinkers are more likely to have flat stomachs: which alcohol, on the other hand, is particularly unhealthy. White wine does not appear to have an effect on either visceral or subcutaneous fat. The polyphenols found in red wine appear to reduce inflammation and inhibit fat storage in the body. Diet also plays a role in the influence of different types of alcohol.
