Peter. Firstly, I hope Caroline has a full and speedy recovery.
As for drinking: I was instructed to give up 9 years ago, when I was initially suspected to have a liver problem. (Turned out not to be an issue with my liver, but an MPN)
This diagnosis also stopped me drinking for a while.
The alcohol added to the nausea, so giving up completely was easy.
Now things have settled down a bit, I do like an occasional glass of wine with dinner, especially when at a restaurant.
However, at home and during the winter, I enjoy a small whisky and water most nights.
