Confused about eating and drinking

Lucky @kezmusc! One of the first things I went off during chemo was wine - tasted vile. Six months with virtually no alcohol (a sip or two of champagne was possible) probably explained why I lost ten kilos. In an (moderately successful) attempt to keep it off I have upped my no alcohol days considerably and become a de- alcoholised wine ‘expert’ instead. No, it’s not the same but it’s a glass of something appropriate with a meal or in the evening. As no doctor actually recommends alcohol (as distinct from saying one glass may do no harm or interract with anything) a reduced intake may be beneficial for other reasons too. But the occasional glass of the real stuff is still a pleasure.
