Doctor: okay if you could maybe put it on a scale of how intoxicated you get on a typical weekend one being you know just a beer and you're good to go or 10 being you know you kind of black out forget things <5:33:44 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: um <5:33:52 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: maybe a six sometimes a seven <5:33:56 PM> Trevor - Doctor: okay <5:33:58 PM> Trevor - Doctor: here okay and is that every weekend <5:33:59 PM> Alex Johnston -

patient: I again I don't I don't think it I don't think personally <5:34:13 PM> Trevor - Doctor: how do you think that puts you in the risk category <5:34:21 PM> Trevor - Doctor: mm-hmm <5:34:24 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: it puts me in a high or high risk category or anything like that <5:34:31 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: like I said I kind of just <5:34:34 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: do it on the weekends but I don't think <5:34:39 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: puts me any higher risk or anything like that I like <5:34:40 PM> Trevor - Doctor: okay yeah and I guess based on the answer the questions that you've answered on the survey prior to our discussion here it does actually put you in the higher risk category based on consumption levels does that concern you <5:34:43 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: like I said I think it's mainly just <5:34:46 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: you know affects your relationships things like that and I'm doing fine <5:34:54 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: hmm I know what <5:35:15 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: surprising because I didn't think it really drank that much but now it doesn't really concern me <5:35:19 PM> Trevor - Doctor: compared to others that you're drinking with <5:35:21 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: oh my my wife definitely doesn't drink as much as me <5:35:23 PM> Trevor - Doctor: do you drink more lesser the same <5:35:31 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: um <5:35:32 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: some of my friends <5:35:34 PM> Alex Johnston -

patient: I can't really say you know <5:35:53 PM> Alex Johnston - patient: I don't think it's negatively impacted it it's just I drink a lot during or drink a few beers and over the weekend but I think that ________________________________________________________________________________ End of transcript at May 7, 2025, 5:36:10 PM
