Research shows that any alcoholic drink (whether white wine, red wine, or a different alcoholic beverage all together) will affect your white blood count.
How drinking wine can harm your health
Wine is a drink made from fermented grape juices. It's alcohol content per volume is usually around the 12-14% mark.
Whilst this might not sound like a lot of alcohol to be taking in, over-indulging in any alcoholic beverage will have catastrophic results on your health - and specifically your white blood cell count.
How alcohol affects your white blood cell count
White blood cells (or leukocytes ) are the cells responsible for protecting the body from infection and the presence of foreign bodies.
They are basically what make up our immune system.
Drinking too much alcohol will deprive the body of nutrients that it needs for feeding and maintaining your white blood cells.
This will cause your white blood cell level to drop - leaving you more prone to infection and disease.
To add to this, if you drink too much you are likely to do damage to the lining of your stomach or even your liver. Battling any potential infections caused by this damage will also put a strain on your immune system.
