Well, there goes the vast majority of Congress.
The New Prohibitionists have returned.
We need more funding to research “Teens”
Yeesh I need a beer /S
Expect exercise monitoring as well à la 1984.
It's for the children, you know.
From my last conversation with my Dr 15 drinks per week is the upset number. So 4 drinks 3X per week is ok. 3 drinks 5x per week is ok. Assuming Free Republic readers can do some basic math keep it under 15 drinks per week
There is a big difference between not establishing a “safe” drinking level for pregnant women (because nobody would dare conduct a study that would do so) and declaring that no amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy (which implies that a study was done and all drinking was found to be harmful)
There was a Lefty commenter on Fox News who would occasionally agree with something Conservative. People started thinking she was coming around to our side. But when Obamacare started up and the requirement for intrusive physicals began, she actually said ‘why should I have to pay for health problems of fat people or smokers’ (acknowledging that Obamacare was one step away from single-payer) Does anyone remember who that was?
“For those patients who drink above the recommended limits, doctors should provide brief counseling to help them reduce their drinking, according to the new task force statement”
Brief counseling. Thats funny. We can meet over drinks for that, right?
I don’t but I’ll be go to hell if I let someone check if I do.
My doc tried the standard barky care line of annual physical questions and I refused every one of them. I also told him he should know better than to ask me those things.
Haven’t you heard? You can smoke all the pot you want and it cures cancer and doesn’t affect your performance in anyway.
Reference back to my previous post......the commenter was Kirsten Powers.
Answers to those questions are right up there with “Do you have a gun at home.”. Get the same answer to both.
LIE.
“How much alcohol do you have in your house?”
“Do you own a gun?”
“Are you a veteran?”
This way, please...
“As far as teens, the independent panel of medical experts came up empty. The task force said it did not find enough evidence to make a recommendation for or against alcohol screening and counseling for those under the age of 18. The panel is calling for more research.”
Did the “Onion” sneak that in?

Just don’t ask a sex partner if they have aids, or ask a gay man if he has random sex in public parks and lets strange men urinate on him, that’s all judgey...
Well, I guess I’ll have to lie to him about that
