Well, not Irish, but I had an Irish Stepdad who also loved Guinness and he enjoyed longevity until osteomyelitis set in.
Wish I could turn back the clock and give him some beer now.
Have you checked with your oncologist?
Maybe they will surprise you and say it's o.k. ????
If you really think back, all of our grandparents and great grandparents drank the regional alcohol of their native lands........way before big pharm medications were around.
My mom always said that beer had B Vitamins......and that her doctor, when she was expecting me (in 1944/1945) and my brother 18 months later, told her.....actually instructed her to DRINK BEER.
He also told her to drink beer while she was breast feeding her babies.
P.S. Now when I was having my own family, alcohol was a NO NO. I didn't take so much as an aspirin.
HOWEVER, NOWADAYS MANY YOUNG MOMS ARE DRINKING WINE so I guess it's allowed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding..........
Check with your oncologist. I have also heard that BEER IS FOOD....due to the yeast and the B Vitamins.
Wine would be "fruit of the vine" and also food????
Who knows which alcoholic type beverages would NOT be considered food ? Vodka was the choice of Russians, etc.
