WHO says no booze til you hit Menopause ..... AS IF!

I thought the idea of beginning to drink alcohol at menopause when the risk of breast cancer (female, over 50) is higher doesn’t sound like good advice either! Who would begin alcohol at that age if you’ve lived a life as a teetotaller. 
Have we decided what the bc - alcohol risk really is? Is it less for recurrence than first diagnosis?
