Here's the next reason your doctor will tell you no alcohol. I, with no medical experience will take my chances since the pros are much more important to me.
I prefer this, you can't listen to me, I'm not medically trained, but at least I read research, does your doctor?
Alcohol for these 12 reasons.
Even with the massive amount of stress your doctor is dumping on you
by giving you nothing towards 100% recovery, don't do the following.
But your doctor will never suggest this, so don't go against your doctor's advice.
Moderate alcohol intake lowers stress-related brain activity, may reduce CVD risk

Raise a Glass? Study Tallies Cancer Cases From Booze
Heavy drinking habits accounted for about half of the global toll
More than 700,000 new cases of cancer worldwide in 2020 were attributable to alcohol consumption, according to a population-based modeling study.
Men accounted for about three-quarters of these cancer cases, which most commonly affected the esophagus and liver, reported Harriet Rumgay, BSc, of the International Agency for Research on Cancer's Cancer Surveillance Branch in Lyon, France, and colleagues.
And while heavy drinking patterns contributed most to these alcohol-related cancer cases, "we estimate that light to moderate drinking of the equivalent of around one or two alcoholic drinks per day was accountable for more than 100,000 cases of cancer in 2020," wrote Rumgay and her colleagues in an article in The Lancet Oncology.
Even drinking 10 grams daily contributed 41,300 new cases of cancer in 2020.
As pointed out by the authors, alcohol is causally linked to multiple cancers, including cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, colon, rectum, liver, and breast – cancers that accounted for 6.3 million cancer cases, and 3.3 million deaths globally in 2020.
In their study, the authors established levels of alcohol intake per person, per country, using 2010 data from the Global Information System on Alcohol and Health (assuming a 10-year latency period between alcohol consumption and cancer development), and combined them with new cancer cases in 2020 to estimate the number of alcohol-associated cancers in each country.
Estimates for alcohol intake were based on data including alcohol production, tax and sales data, surveys, and tourist alcohol consumption. Rumgay and her colleagues then converted alcohol consumption estimates to the amount of alcohol consumed per day.
Rumgay and colleagues calculated that globally, there were an estimated 741,300 cases of new cancers (4.1%) that could be attributed to alcohol consumption in 2020, with males accounting for 76.7% of these cases.
Cancers attributed to alcohol included:
- Esophageal (189,000 cases)
- Liver (154,000)
- Breast (98,300)
- Colon (91,500)
- Rectal (65,100)
- Pharyngeal (39,400)
- Laryngeal (27,600)
