I am 100% sober now, but I drank to excess on a daily basis for several years. I have read that alcohol, especially chronic use, can cause shrinking of the breasts. I don't doubt that. I went from a 36C to a 34B during that time. I also gained and then lost 60 lbs, but they were much smaller and flabbier after the weight loss than they were before the weight gain. I think that is partly because of the alcohol.

Does anyone here happen to know if alcohol-related shrinkage is permanent? Is it possible that the tissue is damaged in such a way that it won't respond to NBE? I have only just started, so it's too soon to say from experience. I want to research this myself, but any insight would be helpful.

Wow that's really interesting! I was abit bigger before but then I was pretty ignorant when It came to bras, I had a mental mindset I was the smallest size possible so I wore the smallest size possible and migrated my breast tissue. I was a pretty heavy drinker for years too, then post baby when I had bad post natal I would drink half to a bottle of wine most nights till I had a wake up call and stopped.
Im trying to only have a couple of glasses every second third night now, but one thing my family likes is its booze so I half wonder if its genetic and a hard habit to break because ive found it difficult!
I still don't understand that however because of the sugar content in alcohol for the most part I thought it would cause an overall increase in fatty tissue all over not decrease in breasts
