"She drinks wine even though she does not drink beer."

Translation: Lei beve vino anche se non beve birra.

Anche covers only the "even" part. Se means "if" or "though."

Can anyone clarify why it becomes "anche se" not "anche lei"?

Viaggiatore explained it below :)

I think you could also say ...anche se lei... in this sentence. Correct me if I am wrong.
