Alcohol exerts a direct toxic effect to the bone marrow. Google 'alcohol bone marrow toxicity'. I stopped all drinking any alcohol after my first bone marrow biopsy and my hematologist told me he thought I had MDS. I read a similar statement in a text book I was reading about Bone marrow conditions. I was drinking a few glasses a wine a week but stopped immediately. That was 7 years ago and I credit the nutritional and general guidance on this site to keeping my blood counts stable.
