I used to think that to but it is just a myth. There has been no link between alcohol and prostate cancer risk. According to a new study drinking alcohol does not appear to up the risk of prostate cancer and men who drink alcohol may have a lower risk of having an aggressive prostate cancer and dying from the cancer. (Especially Red Wine, It lowers your risk.)

No he will be fine if he only drinks a few beer a night, If anything it will just relax him, Stay well….
He should be okay as long as he drinks them from a glass/bottle/can into his mouth. The alcohol shouldn’t reach his prostate then. Now if he gets all freaky deaky and takes the alcoholic beverages in the rear entrance, then he better stick with red wine.
