Your topic has been discussed and there were many opinions on it. Im not sure where to find the posts. Personally Im on the side of dont drink. My reasoning is if drinking is a contributer to oral cancer then I dont need anymore risk factors against me. Also my post radiation mouth would probably never be able to take the alcohol since I cant even drink a soda. Thats only my opinion. Im sure others will disagree with me.
