[quote]What is more important, living? or drinking?[/quote]As far as I know the most commonly agreed behavior is to not heavily drink and smoke. There are a number of studies that seem to imply doing both increases the chance of getting cancer. Kind of like stating the obvious.

On the other hand, it does not seem that drinking in moderation increases recurrence among HPV survivors.

No smoking for sure in any form. I prefer quality of life so I'm fine with a bit of drink. I honestly do not feel I am adding risk by any amount more than all the others things I do that put me in more harms way than a few drinks.
