The medically safe, if there is such a thing, is for woman to drink no more than one glass of wine a day.

If you are on HRT you are on a female physiology. Your liver is a female liver, it is dealing with female hormones.

Follow the guidelines if you can.

Many men drink too much and many woman do as well.

But try and keep to the female alcohol intake guideline.

Oh as you may know. Woman who are drunk have a significant risk of abuse. Be very careful, as girls know if it is a night out with girls we make sure we all get home OK.

You may find that you won;t be able to handle it as much.

These days I'm lucky if I can have 3 glasses in 2 hours without being very drunk. Just pace yourself
