You've already got the disease, anything that gives you a bit of pleasure isn the end of the world. Yes, ideally, we should all be alcohol free saints but, sheesh, how much deprivation can one woman stand?
I had occasional cravings for icy cold Muscat during chemo. It was a great treat--sweet and cold and a glass gave me a bit of a buzz while I was trying to behave myself (that's always been a struggle) One bottle lasted a long time, but it was there in the freezer if I felt like it.
