Hi The little I know.
What you say is very reasonable.
Not only are those items a “rule of thumb”, they were carefully created to do a broad sweep to persuade people to investigate their programs, which are funded and employ people as long as they have a certain volume of activity.
What struck me as funny was reading how broad the questions are, and then someone saying if they answer “yes” to even one of those questions, they are “HIGHLY” likely to have a problem. lol
Those questions are one level away from the kind of questions that would go, “If you pass by a liquor store each day to work, there is a great chance you may develop a problem”. Or, If you drink an alcoholic beverage and you dont really like the taste, you may have a problem.
And then to say you are “HIGHLY” likely? Well, that is just institutionalized pseudo-think.
Hi Health.
I dont think you are sorry to burst any bubble. That is what you do for a living. Sorry, you need a bigger pin.
And I know enough not to get caught into those black holes you call “discussions”. So information about me is not going to be cast at you to use in your usual struggle for affirmations, at the expense of someone else.
Still, why you find yourself to be such a staunch defender of the NYC Dept of “Health”, is obvious. How did you get your own department anyway?
; )
By the way, Health. I was reacting to the NYC D of H’s guidelines for what they consider may constitute a drinking problem. Other than your opinion that a “yes” means a “highly” likely problem, of which I disagree, I was not intending to say you were ridiculous. That was regarding the D of H’s stance. I apologize if you took it that way, whether you want to take a tough approach to me or not.
