Thank you all for your personal opinions, and that of your doctors as well. The definition of a 'moderate drinker' is 3-4 cups a day and no more than 12-14 drinks per week. Any drinking over that one week duration is considered alcoholic. Hmm I wonder if this doesn't pertain to OC patients. Anyways My ENT told me drinking 3-4 times a month is just right where he would cut it if he were in my position, and he said to drink every other day on vacation. He said it doesn't matter the amount that I intake on those days, but I'm planning on around 2-3 cups a night and maybe a couple brews during the day.

The 7 weddings I go to this year (2 of which are my siblings') will all be drinking nights and maybe a drinking night every other week with friends. All your opinions were appreciated and my final judgement is to enjoy life and let the good times roll with a little cheers, while leaving the rest to the man upstairs!
