Alcohol is okay. It fits the low-fat, vegan rule. However, do remember drinking calories can be a nutrient-poor way to pack in calories quickly. Also, more than one drink per day for women increases some cancer risks, more than two for men. If you have a history of breast cancer in the family, the recommendation is zero alcohol. Cheers!
