Just what we need -- big brother watching us to see how much we drink, even if no problems surfaced.

I won’t tell the doc about the hootch we’re brewing at the house.

If they supply the Bud Lite, I’ll join the study as long as the Bud Lite keeps coming.

How ‘bout we screen all adult for “democrat” voter registrations and throw the craziest ones in jail?

So, after you are 64, it is BTW??

You’re no longer talking to just your doctor. The government has access to it all. HIPPA - what an unfunny joke.

Damned puritans.

I say this as I’m drinking a pina colada.

I can save us all some time. Doc, don't bother asking me if or how much I drink - I'm an adult I'll make my own determinations on that. Also don't bother asking me if there are firearms in my home. None of your business, nor anyone else's business.

Anything you say to a healthcare "professional" will go on the record and may come back to bite you. I don't volunteer anything. If there is something going on with my body I don't understand or I can't handle then and only then will I ask for help/advice.

Invade every adult’s privacy, but it’s not a problem if they’re under 18...their formative years. Great.

Some of the biggest booze bags I have ever met have been medical doctors.

I have met these people by the score at the dinner parties, cocktail parties etc. hosted by two friends. The wife is an MD and can put it away as well as the men.

Don’t buy alcohol with a credit card.

[Songcraft]

The solution to unhealthy alcohol use, of course, is to switch to one of these healthy (doctor) brands...

[Gay State Conservative]

Having worked in a big city ER for years I can guarantee that alcohol is a huge,huge,*huge* problem in this country.I wasn't there long before I decided to 1) stop drinking *completely* and 2) to *always* buckle my seat belt (this was before it was the law in my state).

IMO the smartest people are the ones who can learn from the mistakes of *others*.

I'll try to keep it to just 4 of these after dinner:

Drs aren’t drs anymore they are high priced nannies.

If the purpose is to charge higher risk people with higher health coverage premiums, then I am all for it, as long as all risks get the same treatment: A black man in South Chicago should pay a lot more than a black male in Scarsdale; male homos should pay more than male heteros; smokers should pay more than non-smokers; fat people should pay more than HWP people; people who don’t own forearms should pay more than those who do; and people who abuse alcohol or other drugs should pay more than people who don’t.

[Man from Oz]

Happened to me 2 weeks ago when I had a physical with my Doc. After she asked me how much I drank, I asked her if she was going to ask me how many guns I owned. She smirked at me. I then followed up with the question what was next.... Sex ? Sheesh.. There is no more fun left in the world from the viewpoint of a medical professional.

≤ 4 drinks per day...mostly good ≤ 14 drinks per week...mostly bad I'm too buzzed to remember what is 4 x 7. LOL (hic!)
