Occasional alcohol during radiation treatment?

I start 6 months on Orgovyx tomorrow. Pharmacist I spoke with last week said alcohol is not contraindicated, so I am undecided about continuing my 1-2 cocktails per most evenings. I am considering cutting back for easier weight control and just because it won't hurt.

You should also cut back because of the recent report below, that any drinking at all can cause cancer. I had to quit 3 years ago because I went on blood Thinners and you can’t drink more than one drink a day with them. I was on blood thinners because Zytiga caused permanent problems with my heart. I used to drink a big Margarita in the afternoon after work and then wine or beer with dinner. Now 1 drink 1 alcoholic drink a week. Don’t really miss it, though a beer with spicy Mexican food is mandatory 😀.

The CDC reported this January 13, 2025
Drinking alcohol may also increase prostate cancer risk. All kinds of drinks that contain alcohol increase the risk of cancer.
