This is all about the risk related to wine and women.

An advice from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (Nice) says women drinking two glasses of wine a night must be sent for scans by their GPs to check for cirrhosis.

It says around 2 million people are drinking at levels which put them at risk of cirrhosis.

Study shows that Britain is the worst country in the western world for heavy drinking among professional women, with those with a good education twice as likely to be problem drinkers.
