I was a non smoker and a 1 to 2 beer most nights person pre Tx and I really enjoyed it. I haven't even felt like trying a beer since Tx began and I haven't missed it either. If my taste returns I may try a beer but the feeling for alcohol is completely different now than it was before. Heck my feeling for a lot of things is completely different than it was before and alcohol is way down the importance list. My docs don't think alcohol played a role in my cancer either.
