I'm worried about my husband because he is drinking liquor, mainly beer, while undergoing chemotherapy. Almost every weekend he hangs out in bars and drinks to the point that when he comes home I can smell the liquor coming out of his skin. I'm worried that this is affecting his liver. Is it bad to drink while undergoing chemotherapy whether beer or hard liquor .

Probably drinking that much, yeah. I would go have a drink once a week while doing chemo and radiation and I'm fine.

Is his oncologist aware of this? If not, he/she should be informed since there is an extremely high risk that the alcohol will interfere with the effectiveness of his treatments. Between the toxins in the chemo and the additional strain from the body processing the alcohol, he could go into acute liver failure or have a fatal reaction. You NEED to tell his doctors!
