[quote=Skyeblue]Ha, didn't mean to derail OP's post.

The "double" rule only matters if it matters. Meaning, if the focus is on alcohol consumption (someone looking for detox) or health issues related to alcohol (hypertension, high cholesterol, hepatitis, obesity, etc.), they yeah. I'm going to mentally double your reported intake. But for someone coming in for a cough or a wrist fracture? Or an annual health visit where all your numbers look good? Then whatever. 1 drink/night vs 2 doesn't raise eyebrows. As a PSA however, I do feel obligated to point out how sneaky alcohol consumption can be, and that current studies don't support the protective effect of alcohol (i.e. the daily glass of red wine) that some of us used to believe. Again, no judgement. I love a glass of wine. But I do think many of us (and lots of moms! See the "mommy needs wine" culture) operate under some degree of plausible deniability re: our drinking. Here's the Lancet study for those interested: https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(18)31571-X/fulltext[/quote]
