@maryliz22503 There are people who never drank a drop of alcohol and still got it. But, too much of anything is never good.

You may be correct, but triple negative means the type does not have the estrogen positive factor. The estrogen positive carries a greater risk from alcohol, I believe.
All of my doctors have said I can have a glass with dinner (which is what I do). My husband has Parkinson’s and enjoying a nice dinner with a glass of wine is one of life’s remaining pleasures.
I know there has been much in the news of late about the risks of alcohol consumption, but I often think of the super agers that consume the Mediterranean diet-including a small amount of wine. It may be viewed that I am rationalizing and perhaps I am, and I definitely don’t want to start controversy on this topic. Just stating my decision after weighing pros and cons.
Here are a couple excerpts from studies on Triple Negative. Click on photo for full view.
I sincerely extend best wishes to all on this site,
