My post was to the OP David, not intended to refute yours. But your latest post makes [quote]find myself having a glass of something with dinner every night.[/quote]sound like a bad thing.
If that is the case, then I am very bad. [/quote]

Hah - yes. I think that having a glass of wine or two with dinner is one of the best things about civilization. Unfortunately.

This issue, trivial in the long view or not, arises regularly. And each time I hoist my glass in celebration and companionship to advocate a Dionysian not Apollonian life style. I really enjoy clinking the wine glasses with my wife, even if I syringe it. We toasted ChristineB down at the Riverwalk with a very nice Pinot Grigio (Christine had no alcohol, just my wife and I) just as we would have done with a new friend before the cancer. I'm not only alive, but living like I did before this cancer as much as possible. But it all so true as you wrote that this decision must be made from knowing yourself and being realistic. It's better for some people not to drink at all, whether or not they are cancer survivors.

True as well. So glad you're able to do that! We all need to derive pleasure from life. I've just made the decision to seek it in other forms. It's only that none of them taste so good!
