Something I find confusing in this article is the statement:

"But alcohol consumption was not associated with overall mortality."

What does this mean---if you drink, you have a higher risk of recurrence but if you don't drink, your life expectacy is the same as a woman with BC who does drink?? This doesn't make sense to me.
