Also they have changed the standards now for what is considered moderate and heavy drinking etc. - I think more than 3 drinks a week is considered moderate... that is what I found when I looked it up.

Some doc's offices now interrogate you about this, the nurses on a physical do it. Next time I will tell them to myob etc. I'm so sick of these idiots. I rarely drink, maybe a glass of wine or champaign a few times a year. Sometimes it might be more often for me near holidays so I told them I don't fit into your categories etc.

Now, if women drink 8 drinks per week it is considered heavy drinking, which is crazy to me.

Kind of like when they changed all the cholesterol standards so they could try to force everyone onto statins.
