Why can't I relax?

But he can?

It just doesn't seem right that alcohol can impact breast cancer the way we are told it does.  I can understand it... but it sucks.

I can't have a beer or a glass of wine without thinking about how it MIGHT affect my health.

It ticks me off to the point of thinking, "it's not fair"... which really ticks me off because I can't stand the "it's not fair" attitude.  It's not the way I normally think about things because I know life's not fair and I accept it... it's part of life. 

Men can drink and not worry.  Sure, there are other cancers that could pop up as a result of their drinking habits.  But, I really doubt that they worry about it at all.

Why so many studies and articles about alcohols affect on breast cancer?  Why don't they do an equal amount of studies and articles about the affect (or effect.. hell i don't know) of processed meats?  Or phosphoric acid in sodas?  Or any thing else???  And actually publish it as they do the alcohol/breast cancer links.

gggggrrrrrr
