That's what I needed Christine opinions and or facts...I don't or haven't but like I said Christmas, New Years and the odd birthday are times when I would normally have a drink or two...I am not a huge drinker. It has been a long while since I had one and like I said I don't wanna do something that would cause any further problems cause I already have issues of fear sore ear throat not sure if connected to surgery same side as tumor (have contacted doctor about this) but I really don't wanna give a hand to something that needs no help.
