well...

My experience, albeit an outlier.

After surgery and my catheter came out, zero incontinence.

In the counseling before I started SRT, I was advised to avoid coffee, alcohol...

Did I listen, yes. Did I follow the advice, no.

I typically have 1-3 cups of coffe a day, one in the warmer months like now is the normal, in the winter, 2-3.

Drinks, well, I've read similar articles to what @jeffmarc says...

Still, I believe all things in moderation, diet, exercise....

So, most nights, I have a drink or two, ok, three, but that's the rarity, I enjoy a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or some other drink I mix. I enjoy Happy Hours with friends, once a month when my wife plays Bunko, my daughter and go out for drinks and appetizers and shoot the,,,

Gone are the days of my youth and hangovers, friends driving me home, waking up and wondering how I got home, having a beer with lunch...

So, like I said, it's a choice, mine, in part, one's health comes into play, then there are social factors. I don't need a drink to be happy, I can be happy riding my bike, skiing, hiking in the mountains. However, I do enjoy a well crafted drink.

Just saying...
