Your smart-ass response when the doctor’s assistant asks how much you drink

[Mama_Zappa]

I found out that my primary care doctor can be a bit literal about things.

First visit (telemedicine, actually) after the Covid shutdown, I blithely informed her I’d been drinking much more than usual.

When she got to looking worried, I hastily assured her that “much more than usual”, in my case, meant I had a single drink, two weekends in a row.

I often have to point out that the form doesn’t have a way to indicate a 0-1/month average.

Yeah, I just answer honestly. They’ve heard it all, and your jokes aren’t funny. Just do your business and get on with it.
