Actually I stopped on my onc's orders when i was dxd with CML. He didn't even give permission for a glass of wine at Christmas. It had to do with the TKI's I was on. Actually gave me a good excuse to turn down drinks at gatherings. Not being a native of Wisconsin I never quite grasped the whole everything is better with alcohol culture in this state.My neighbors are all older..... All heavy drinkers in the day. Now they are all older and don't party anymore. Most have had to give up their alcohol or had to cut back. Of course till a few years ago I fit in good ... But I gave up drinking a couple years ago too.
