The most stupid question on forms has to be 12:44 - Jul 21 with 2147 views | Dolly2.0 | "How many units of alcohol do you consume per week?" How the hell am I supposed to answer that? Even if you know what a unit is, every week is different. I might have one week with not a lot going on followed by another with a birthday, a couple of dates, a piss up after work and footy on Saturday. Even gauging an average is impossible. I had to answer this on a form for the dentist the other day and just put 20 because I had no clue whatsoever. On a particularly big night I don't even know how many drinks I had THAT NIGHT! How does anyone else answer this question (apart from the teetotallers, obvs)? | |

What if I put zero? You can't double zero. | |

Then they write down 'lying borderline alcoholic'. | |

In which case they're being unethical, irresponsible and completely inaccurate (well, in my case anyway!) | |

When I was really hitting it (I am now reformed) my GP asked me and like you said I halved it. She then looked at me with glaring eyes and said "What, every single week"? To which I replied "No, every day" My late Dad was called in prior to his triple bypass and was told that he could have no more than 7 pints a week to which he enquired if he was allowed to have them all in an afternoon. | |
