Classic lawyer line . . . sounds like . . .
Why? I went to treatment and I didn;t lose MY license. I've never heard of anyone loosing their license without being caught drunk driving.

a six-pack? just half an imperial gallon.
Are these people aware what the RDA of beer for medieval monks or 17th century schoolboys was?
n 1871, a year after it opened, the beer allowance for residents in the London Metropolitan and City Police Orphanage was discontinued on the grounds that several orphans were total abstainers. This controversial decision was reversed in 1880.

Well, actually I wasn't addressing the merits of his case. I was commenting on the pettifoggery (in just my opinion)of the language.

The dude may well BE an alcoholic, but if HE doesn't admit it it doesn't help anyone or change anything. What the lawyer said is actually quite true in recovery terms. There's no objective standard (that ( know of) for alcoholism. That's why it's a very dangerous diagnosis -- because it can be used to "get" people.

Huh? Why did you get your license pulled? I've got deaf friends and they've never had problems getting licenses.

I don't tell my doctor jachsh**.
I ask, what's my blood pressure. Let me see my EKG.
Thank you very much.
And I don't use those grocery store discount cards and pay cash for by groceries.
I've been doing this for thirty years.

A six-pack is on the excessive side, but you'd never be anywhere close to drunk unless you squeezed them into a short evening. For a doctor to do this without warning to a patient is nearly beyond belief.

Was he riding on a paved road? Was the horse swerving? Enquiring minds want to know...:-)

Did they report him for his heart condition, or his drinking habits?
Now if it's the heart condition - that's one thing.
If he's being reported because he MAY drink six beers in the future, and drive....well then, they better report everyone in the State. Who is to know what people MAY do in the future, despite their admitted patterns of the past.

"A six-pack is on the excessive side"According to who? In what period of time? What body weight? Before or after eating a meal? I would admit drinking a keg a day is a little EXTREME but 6 beers?

He claims his horse knew the way home from the Dew Drop Inn and he was only along for the ride. Unfortunately for him and Nellie, on a paved road.

Asked if he considered his client to be alcoholic, Horace Ehrgood, Emerich's attorney, said: "It depends on what your definition is." LOL. Drunkards triangulation - "I drink less than him, but he drinks more than me!"
To: mdittmar
"...treating him at a hospital for an irregular heartbeat... Emerich said his heart problem has prompted him to limit his beer drinking to weekends.It's the irregular heatbeat he was hospitalized for that is the problem. Details aren't given, but I suspect it results in blackouts, or near unconsciousness. Alcohol use just aggravates the condition.
