Hello All,
I've searched the topic Alcohol in the search bar but didn't get s clear enough answer, so I would like to hear your current opinions please. I'm a 22 yr old Male which used to drink about 5-6 times a month (pre-Cancer).. I've asked my ENT and RO and both of them said it is OK to drink on 'special occasions', I mentioned if twice a month is overdrinking as an OC patient and they said that's a little more strict than they would recommend haha. I have 6 weddings coming up this year and I'm also going on Vacation to Cancun. Do you feel that it would be okay to have 3-4 cups of liquor about 4 times a month on average? I know it would be safer to be a teetotaler but I'm too young to not enjoy myself with celebratory drinks! Also I'll be on vacation for 6 nights and 7 days. Can I make it an exception to drink everyday for 6 straight days (note: I'm not an alcoholic) and will be sipping on Liquor. Please tell me what you think.
Something a little more off topic and many may not know about it since it's a fairly knew source of medicating . A couple friends of mine are bud tenders and they've been suggesting that I ingest a Cannabis Extract filled Capsule with either CO2 oil or Rick Simpson Oil. They claim that it will help with side effects such as an Appetite Booster, a Sleep Aid and helps with overall Mood. If I swallow a capsule that has this extract and nothing touches my Oral Cavity, would you consider it safe to ingest in your books?
I know many are dealing with much bigger issues but any experiences and knowledge on these topics would make me a happy camper. Thanks All and have a blessed day!
