One of the biggest problems with alcohol and prostate cancer is that the alcohol feeds the prostate cancer and tends to make it worse.

I had to go on blood thinners about 4 years ago because Zytiga screwed up my blood pressure and caused me multiple Afib events.

One thing about blood thinners is that you can’t drink more than one ounce of alcohol a day, screws up the ability of the blood thinner to work. I used to have a large margarita every afternoon, after work, and a beer or wine during dinner. Nowadays, I may have a beer or wine once a week. I attend a dinner party once a month with a bunch of other people all of them drink cocktails before dinner and wine with. I have ice water before dinner and maybe a glass of wine with it. You can change drinking habits.

I don’t know if you’ve seen the recent report that came out a couple of days ago about how much drinking people are doing. It is way down. Many wineries in California were sold off in last year. Wineries had to actually dump wine grapes last year because nobody would buy them, even at really low prices.

From 1997 to 2023, at least 60% of Americans reported drinking alcohol. The figure fell to 62% in 2023 and to 58% in 2024, before reaching 54% today. For the first time in Gallup’s trend, a majority of Americans, 53%, say drinking in moderation, or “one or two drinks a day,” is bad for one’s health.
