I'm not an expert on this but I read that estrogen is processed in the liver and so is alcohol. So if the liver is busy processing alcohol it can't eliminate the esttogen. Don't quote me because I have no idea if it's true or not. But it is an interesting theory. I try to eat food with my wine so it will help absorb the alcohol.
I'm with you guys. It seems like between cancer and reflux there's more dont's than do's. I feel my occasional wine relaxes me and reduces stress. Isn't that a good thing?

I drink red wine about everyday - a couple of glasses. I don't know whether it interferes with anything or not but it relaxes me and I enjoy it. So I do it - it sure as hell can't be any worse for me than Cytoxan, Adriamycin, Taxol and Arimidex! Cancer is not going to take everything away from me....

Everyone sounds so nice on this thread, I think we should get together and have a glass of wine!

I asked my doc about alchohol and he said it was ok to have a drink once in awhile..
