A member asked:
Can you consume alcohol if you have bowel cancer?

Best to abstain.: These types of questions are always hard to answer: on the one hand, you are asking a physician to endorse the use of a known toxin associated with increased risks of colon cancer as well as many other diseases; on the other hand, one drink on an occasional basis will probably have no detrimental effect. Like any vice, i would like to say "no", but realistically can say "in moderation".

Wrong answer: This answer is ludicrous. There is little if any connection to colon cancer and alcohol. If someone has liver mets or on chemo, that is different.
