This may explain why some people can drink like fish ...
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/244484.php

and never get breast cancer or any cancer for that matter...do fish drink?

Okay we all can use some humor - but seriously I have an ex brother in law who has a severe drinking problem and has been drinking to the point of falling down for over 40 yrs. (hence he is my ex brother in law) At this point in time he is cancer free and well into his 70's.
So maybe there is a direct link to the protein which would protect some while others are not.

So many questions.
Jean
