They're at it again. See if you can find the arithmetical flaw in the little 'Might you have a drink problem?' piece at the end.

I understand that if you have a drink problem, you can't see the 5th indicator; there's no flaw.

AC reads the Telegraph, doesn't he?

Louis Threoux - 2 G&Ts, 3 glasses of red of an evening.....maybe he is forgetting the pint / vodka & coke @ lunchtime and the glass of ???? he had with a friend in the afternoon. He has a drink problem IMHO.
You will all know a person who has drunk like that - 2 years ago neighbour 51 and all down to homebrew or 3/4++ cans of strong brew a night & some serious drinking Friday/Sat & Sunday
Stroke - wheelchair, little or no speech He was self-employed / now no income other than benefits / his business failed as he was the boss & employed 2/3 people but he had to be there to run it.
He had been warned by the Dr & his family....... no previous ill health, up & away to work 7 am every day.... then Bang.

The five points aside, they seem to have forgotten the non-drinkers in the poll.

Not if it a poll of drinkers.

Skunk isn't 'high quality', it's merely very strong, not necessarily in a beneficent way.
Booze and dope go quite well together. But as I keep saying, if you are very suggestible and/or given to panic, you should avoid powerful hallucinogens including decent dope (or even skunk) and LSD, mescalin etc.
Don't blame me therefore if you have a smoke and a tipple and then make an idiot of yourself. If you aren't adult, extreme caution is the watchword.

This is why, after a nasty panic attack in Amsterdam after ingesting some brown crumbly stuff (decent dope of some kind) with my coffee, I realised that I had found the limits of my tolerance to illicit substances and never attempted anything "stronger", for want of a better word.
I'm still an adult, though. Even though I can't handle my drugs. In fact, I think myself more of a grown up for having realised my limits and steadfastly stuck within them.
A splosh of boozes at the weekend is quite sufficient to maintain my will to live.

Quite right Al, you are properly grown-up.
Perhaps one has to be a bit thuggish and insensitive to 'handle one's drugs'. Or indeed to mess with them at all.

Not an arithmetical flaw, but an interesting concept

Disgraceful. Nothing worse than an untidy sandwich.
