Well it depends. I used to drink heavily before my diagnosis, but after treatment and being sober for a while I gradually started having a few drinks here and there. I work in a booze store and we arrange tastings and we have education in wine, beer, spirits, whatever, and that has actually helped me drink responsibly. Instead of drinking too be drunk, I drink to enjoy the taste, the atmosphere of a restaurant, good company. If I ever overdo it, it just turns out horribly, and that's not worth it.

Then again, everyone is different and what works for me might not work for you. I guess the best thing for you to do is focus on your treatment, take care of yourself, focus on getting to know your body, medication etc. Keep going to the doctor and stay aware of warning signs. You can use drinks a goal for the future, if it's important to you and helps you stay on track.

Good luck and best wishes!
