Alex Jones is a nut job!!!!....I actually think drinking might help him. I hate when they bring him on to talk about gun rights or politics or whatever is the topic at hand. I am a strong believer in my rights and he is the LAST person I want standing up for me or representing me

Well what happened to that guy has nothing to do with Alex (I'm in agreement with you on him)
but wholey with what he confided in his doctor. Thats the only reason I used the reference.

Knowing the other side of it and being objective about it, it seems that it was less what he told the doctor and more how he was acting. As a medical professional, we have a very low threshold when someone mentions hurting themselves. The alternative is someone dying, so that's an easy decision to make.insaneh said:Well what happened to that guy has nothing to do with Alex (I'm in agreement with you on him)

Of course we only have his side of the story, but I'll take it as I see it.
I temper anything I tell my doctor.
Do you wear a seat belt? Nunya
Do you own guns? Nunya
ect.

Do docs really ask if you own guns? I always see army docs who are also commissioned officers so my experience is a little different.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.
-
Not all. It has happened to me and I've read about it elsewhere. I've heard of instances where the kids were asked. That is a big no-no in my book.
No idea what's done with the info, but it's over the line regardless.

I personally don't drink a lot to begin with, but I am 42 years old and if I want to drink sociably or to excess on any given day I will.
MMMMMMMMMMMMM this beer tastes like Im not going into work tomorrow.

No, sadly they don't all have common sense. It's still over the line. We have enough intrusions in our lives with out our health care professionals asking and recording information not pertinent to the visit.
I could sit there all day answering questions for things that "might" happen.
"Does daddy sit at the stop sign for the full three seconds?" "How much does daddy and mommy drink?"
Ect ect. Firearms just happens to be a current hot topic. If that weren't a problem, it would be another type of intrusion.
There's a line to be drawn and grilling my children for agenda's is one of mine.

There's a line to be drawn and grilling my children for agenda's is one of mine.I say all this as a Registered Nurse and with a mother who is a Family Physician. I'm not trying to argue. You have every right to refuse to answer those questions if you see fit, that is no trouble. I would only have trouble if the MD's aren't asking those questions, because they're not doing their job.We are getting WAY off-base with this thread, so I digress. Thank you for the level-headed conversation. -

I agree, we are getting way off base and back at you on the civil conversation. It's a nice change from some of the cess pools I've accidentally put my toe in.
I will leave it off at this. It's not pertinent because there is no reason to ask. If there was signs of something like abuse, yes by all means ask the questions. If my childs Dr. asked an inappropriate
question of my child for no reason, they wouldn't sit right for a week for the reaming they'd get from me.
We can't just start asking random questions because there might be a problem. That's an intrusion. Probable cause or stay out of my business.
Perceptions are what part of the problem is. (getting back to the OP) Somebodies idea of an alcoholic might be someone that drinks every night while someone else's is someone that has to
drink a 5th every night.

4 to 5 beer a night if we don't have visitors, 10-15 if we do. I make all my own so I manage the alcohol level accordingly. I've got a 3.5 % pale ale on tap for big nights, an 8.5% saison on tap for other times and some 11% imperial milk stout for sipping by the fire and a whole bunch of things in between. I base this on a regular 12 oz bottle. My glasses are 20 oz so I have 3 or 4 of those most nights.You only need about 2% alcohol to give the taste and perception of "beer" so I try to have some 3-3.5% brews on tap so I can drink all night without too many issues. I love the taste of beer more than the alcohol (but I wouldn't suggest most folks trying to drink 1 for 1 with me all night, that always ends badly as I seem to have a fairly high natural tolerance or I'm just excessively "seasoned" so my advice may not be applicable to all )Mt Elgin Ontario - just a Large.

If the Egg is hot, the beer is open! Isn't that in the owners manual somewhere?
But for chillaxing I prefer Single Barrel Jack straight up, to sip at.
