It's so important that your doctor take a patience's values, not his, into consideration, along with the risks and benefits of treatment when there is a question to a doctor What would you do?.

Doctors are taught in medical school that people ususally underreport their alcohol and drug use, so we genreal double the amount we're told. Don't be insulted if your doctor asks follow-up questions about yout drinking. We're trying to be diligent so we don't miss an alcohol or drug disorfer that could be amenable to treatment.
