A lot of people love a glass of wine or two but don’t really stop to consider the impact alcohol has on their cycle.

You may feel more relaxed after that glass of wine but alcohol actually increases the production of both estrogen and testosterone, exacerbating PMS symptoms.
Alcohol is a diuretic,meaning it can cause dehydration, which can worsen your cramps.Remember, the muscles in the uterus contract more vigorously on your period so the consumption of alcohol isn’t advisable - replacing it with water, will keep you dehydrated & you’ll cramp less.
If you ARE going to have a glass of wine or any alcoholic beverage on your period, be sure to top it off with a lot of water.
