[QUOTE="Kirktown, post: 1244028, member: 328322"] Alcoholics will always lie about their consumption and minimise it. Its a disease of the mind as well as the body and I expect many consultants know that they don't tell the whole truth. By the time I got to hospital with an attack of pancreatitis I physically hadn't been able to drink anything, even water, for 24-48 hours so my blood alcohol readings were nowhere nearly as bad as they would normally have been. The biggest problem I encountered was I was simply told to stop drinking. Alcoholics just can't stop drinking like that. If they could there would be no such disease. It took me years of denial before I got into rehab and followed it up with proper treatment. It might surprise some of you but GPs get one afternoon of training regarding alcoholism and other addictions during the whole course of their medical training. [/QUOTE]
