A member asked:
I have hereditary hemochromatosis ive been doing phlebotomy every 3 months for 2 year and have remained in maintenance. my alt/ast, tibc & serum ferritin all good. is it a big deal if i have alcohol every now and again?

Depends on your definition of "big deal". Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, including breast, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.
