About a year back I visited a new doctor's office (insurance plan change). One of the routine screening questions asked by the nurse was "how much do you drink?" I told her "two or three bourbons a night" (okay, okay, four or five, but that was a reasonable approximation). She turned up her nose, looked at me snootily and she said "heavy drinker" as she recorded my daily consumption on my chart. "Disgusting," she muttered as she left the exam room.
A few minutes later a red-nosed doctor walks in, picks up my chart, mutters "33 years old.....155 pounds....yada-yada-yada...MODERATE DRINKER...yada-yada-yada".
Good doctor, I thought.
