    Alcohol affects how the liver clears fat from the blood. Alcohol also spurs the liver on to make more triglycerides. Even light drinking (two 4-ounce glasses of wine a week) can raise triglyceride levels.
    Triglycerides are measures along with HDL, LDL and Cholesterol to work out your ‘numbers’.
