in britain? probably.

Ha! I would never lie to my doctor.
-
Yes, and I apply just the opposite and divide by 4 if anybody brags about how many times they get laid!

People often have their own guidlines as to what they believe and while I don't have any proof one way or the other and I doubt he does - human nature being what it is he may be closer to right than not and I doubt there would be any major damage done if he is wrong and may be good if he thinks so. +5

Not in my case. I would never lie about this, particularly to my doctor.

I know everyone tells the cops they only had a couple but most people tell their doctors and their lawyers the truth. Never lie to your doctor, your lawyer or yourself. Is he correct? Probably about 1/2 the time.

That's an interesting question because it's often true. In order to do my job I have to pass regular medicals, and I have discussed this very subject with colleagues whom I know drink a lot more than the guideline number of units per week. Everyone I've asked has admitted that they state a figure within the recommended limit to the doctor during their medical, deliberately in order to pass their medical. If they stated the true number the doctor would probably refer them to Alcoholics Anonymous (seriously, they are very heavy drinkers). Personally, I also state a number within the guidelines, but in my case it's actually true, so I'm no doubt being tarred with the same brush.

It sounds like it makes sense, but I always tell the doctor everything honestly. If I drank, and my doctor said to give up drinking, I probably wouldn't listen anyway!
-
I usually multiply it by 2. I also sometimes use an alcohol screening questionnaire called the AUDIT-C, which goes more into detail about drinking habits.
-
It depends of ppl, I guess. Not everybody drinks so much, right? If someone says 'I like to drink 1-2 beers after dinner' she/he doesn't have to tell a lie and drink up to 8 per day.

0 times 4 I'm still in the clear :P
-
He is probably doing this based on experience, If he says it is right, I would tend to believe him.
-
I agree with his logic. But I do tell my doctor the truth. For questionaires for jobs I put 0. . In reality, I'll have 1/2 a beer with pizza for Superbowl. Champagne for New Year's. Kosher wine for Thanksgiving and Christmas. That's my big drinking spree. One date was upset I ordered milk with a steak dinner. I'm not into alcohol.

Probably. Ask anyone how much TV they watch. Multiply by 10. (The fibbers all know all the commercial jingles.)
