drinking after tx

I haven't started tx yet but was told by one of the dr. that once tx was over and I was clear for a year I could drink again. My husband and I are not big drinkers but enjoy wine. Wine tasting and wine with dinner sort of thing. Has anyone heard that this may be possible? I hate that this disease is changing so much of my life. ( I have so little energy, aches and pains and I haven't even started tx) I'm hoping to get the tx over and get back to being me again.

Pretty sad that you have a view that anyone that enjoys a glass of wine to relax...  is an alcoholic.  To me an ability to stop after one and enjoy one of life's pleasures is ok if you liver is good.

I´m very much agree with rocker we all alcoholists but I will rather say non of us is.

I dont like that word think its a way to put a label on an issue that prevent us from thinking any further.

ps and for some people such as my self, everything is allowed but not everything is healthy.
