How do some of you feel about Brian Williams news story from last month that included Robert Bazell's piece on alcohol and its connection with breast cancer as shown here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21083325/

I enjoy a glass of champagne with dinner, but now it has me scared, since it says one glass of any alcohol (wine, beer or hard liquor) can increase breast cancer risk by 10% and as much as 40% with three or more glasses.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, especially those of you who have continued to drink alcoholic beverages.
