Doctors drink, smoke like a chimney, I wonder what we tell our patience.

GASP! what a shock.

Different people have different views. I drink 2 glasses of wine every night, unless I'm on call. Then I have none. Some people think I have a problem. I don't. 2 drinks per day has significant health benefits. Really.

I do sometimes OVERindulge, but I enjoy that and don't get so wasted I get a hangover. Lots of doctors drink regularly. G

when I was an alcoholism counselor I used to know a guy who could 'smell' someone who had been drinking and predict if they were alcoholic......and 90% of the time he was right.....his smelling was so acute he could pickup the bodies inability to metabolize the alcohol.....

I drink a glass of wine everyday for dinner....haven't had any heart trouble yet...my grandfather lived to be 98...he drank wine everyday and would have lived to be 100 but the nursing home made him stop and it killed him.

what happened to the "quality of life" thing they told me to pay attention to in a patient at med skul?
