    Tiniest silver lining: this may encourage some people to report their alcohol consumption more accurately when they talk to a doctor.

    • Many years ago I went to a doctor in the US and they were doing the intake questions

      How many alcoholic drinks do you have a week?

      Zero

      You don’t drink alcohol at all?

      No

      How many beers do you have?

      Zero…?

      Do you ever have any wine with dinner?

      I said I don’t drink alcohol! I don’t drink beer, liquor, wine. I drink 0 drinks lol

      Oh ok, its just that sometimes people don’t consider beers drinking, so we have to get specific…
