I have struggled a lot with this dilemma as well! My doctor told me that since alcohol wasn't what caused my cancer in the first place, it was ok to drink in moderation. I will have 2-3 beers (max) if i go out on the weekends, but i don't want to risk it drinking any more. so i am permanently the "designated driver" amongst my friends, which is kind of a bummer but at least i am still here to drive!
