Hi Lulu, I also read that alcohol has a direct toxic affect on bone marrow, I have not touched any after reading that. Given that my doctor regularly suspects that I have early mds I saw every reason to avoid alcohol. That was just over 3 years ago... my doctor did not say not to drink alcohol in moderation but also did not recommend it. I believe that cutting all alcohol contributed to a slight improvement and stability in my blood counts.
