Some of the recent studies have been depressing (the latest one reported that even 1 drink a day could raise recurrence risk substantially, somewhere around 12% I think).
On the other hand, there is no guarantee that if we do all the right things we won't have a recurrence. I am a vegetarian, non-smoker, distance runner, and very sporadic drinker, yet I still got breast cancer. There are so many other factors. For now, I am going to continue to enjoy the occasional glass of wine or beer.
I am having a similar struggle about how much soy is in my diet, but I am going to discuss this with a nutritionist and my onc before making any radical changes.
