Doctor accused me of being an overweight alcoholic

I went for my yearly checkup, post labs so that the blood work has already come in. The nurse or med tech took my weight and then asked all the normal questions.

One of the questions was “how many drinks do you have per day”.

I answered “Most days none, I have probably 3-4 drinks a month if that”.

Later the doctor comes in and says my blood work looks pretty much ideal but she had real concerns that I was a borderline alcoholic and that it would lead to health complications very soon.

Me: “Excuse me, how in the world am I a borderline alcoholic?”

Doctor: “It says here 3-4 drinks a day, that’s alcoholism territory”

Me: “I said 3-4 drinks a MONTH”

Doctor: “Then why does it say 3-4 a day here?”

Me: “Seems like a question for whomever filled in the paperwork, I told the nurse per month”

Doctor: “Ok, well the other concern is your weight, it looks like you need to work on losing 10-15 pounds. I know that losing weight is hard but we have resources to help. Here are some pamphlets on nutrition and exercise”

Me: “You have access to my whole chart yes? Did you see my weight from last year?”

Doctor: “What about your weight from last year?”

Me: “I lost 40 pounds in a year, I just have 10-15 pounds left. I feel like I don’t really need your pamphlet on eating correctly”.
