The nurse at the doctor’s office: in the past year have you had five or more drinks in one day?

Me: I read and watch the news, so yeeeep.

@flargh That you have to do that in this economy is even more ironic
@davidbcohen I'm not doing my liver any favors, but I've found passable 1.75L bottles of vodka (for mixing, anyway) for less than $10 at the store. Self-anesthetization is still pretty cheap.
@flargh Yah, it’s cheap in the US because it is mostly just made up of bulk grain alcohol from the agroindustry. So you are just drinking a gasoline mixer, but hey given the current times who can be picky?
@davidbcohen the phrase that comes to mind is "white girl wasted"
