Hi there. This is my first ever post on this group page.
I have been a bit concerned about my drinking habits for the past 2 years or so. I tend to drink around 6-8 pints of beer per evening. occasionally more but rarely. I also have the odd few days off from it here and there. I dont suffer from depression or anything like that. I just enjoy beer. I am starting a new job soon so was planning on cutting down loads of drinking in the week anyway. That is because of the driving commute plus want to be really fresh/new start for my new job.
Anyway thought better go to Doctors for a chat etc. So far have had a phone conversation and have a proper appointment this coming Tuesday.
I am very concerned now as realise that the Dr could advise the DVLA that i am "unfit to drive" therefore loose my licence. This would be a disaster as would loose new job as cant commute any other way.
Has anyone else been in the situation before? On the one hand I want to be honest with my Doctor but on the other they could ruin something which was originally controllable (if that makes sense).
Thanks for reading.
