Alcohol

No reason you cannot have any alcohol as things such as red wine can actually have benefit but I would also have my water bottle handy to re-hydrate and keep my mouth from getting dry.

@Doodoo. Being forced to drink non-alcoholic drinks because of my health condition, you become very creative. Many places serve mocktails.

It's a dilemma. Have a few and feel guilty if your cancer progresses or abstain and have it happen anyway. I've not got enough will power to give up completely so it's a moot argument.
My 'looks like booze' stand by is pomegranate juice and soda water. I pretend it has vodka in it.

Soda water with a piece of lemon is it now. I miss the relaxation that comes with a few stronger beverages 😏

Monis red sparkling grape juice looks like red wine. Monis white grape juice ditto white wine, and Appletizer sparkling apple juice also looks like white wine or Champagne. Doesn't taste like the real thing, but socially gives the appearance of an adult beverage.

 I am doing lots of things 'right' in my BC survival phase: exercise, healthy food, lost some weight. I have cut down the amount of grog I drink, and should reduce more; but I have not given up. I admit I avoid information about the connection between alcohol and BC occurrence. 
Best wishes to you @Doodoo for your health and enjoyment of life

I love reading all your stories. Thanks for the input. Cheers to you all xx

I had a fleeting moment of guilt about the alcohol thing straight after treatment finished.  It was a fleeting moment.   I have cut down to once a week, ok maybe twice or so.  There are so many people that quit everything they like doing and still get the stupid thing back.  If we all avoided  everything that "might" give you cancer of some description we'd just stay home on the exercise bike eating kale LOL

Love it @kezmusc xo

I decided that quality of life is important to me, and if the cancer is going to recur, I can’t stop it by refusing alcohol. So I continue to drink 1-2 glasses a day. BC has taken away so much (like my ability to remember, my health), but I am not letting it take away my red wine. Then again I am 70 years old, so I figure it won’t make me die young! Xoxo
