- 0:28Speaker 2: Catherine would drink so she reckoned, she would consume between
- 0:30Speaker 2: like forty units most week, about fifty to sixty units,
- 0:33Speaker 2: which I worked out to be about seven bottles of
- 0:35Speaker 2: wine a week.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Oh no, she's out of control. There's a bottle of day.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bottle of day for a bottle day.

- 1:00Speaker 2: secret of about your drinking, you don't quietly do it
- 1:02Speaker 2: away from other people.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Zero.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Okay, you've tried controlling your drinking. You've tried. I need
- 1:08Speaker 2: I need to partup. I need to control it. One
- 1:10Speaker 2: drink and I'm done.
- 1:11Speaker 3: It was a period of my life where I did that.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done that. Yeah, yeah, I had reassisted.
- 1:17Speaker 4: You swapped it out for exercise and no one is okay?
- 1:21Speaker 2: One from two? Have you ever googled? Am I an alcoholic? No? No, neither.
- 1:27Speaker 3: And even if I was, I don't think i'd google it.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I know I would not.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Get to number one? What secret?
- 1:32Speaker 3: Am I an alcoholic? What does it tell you google
- 1:34Speaker 3: that you.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Must have these five signs? I don't know.
- 1:37Speaker 4: It's the same questions Jason's asking us.
- 1:40Speaker 5: It is these. But what you've seen is if.
- 1:43Speaker 3: You google it, it means you are. So if you've
- 1:45Speaker 3: thought about googling it, you are.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Now you've got two from three. All right, you say
- 1:52Speaker 2: you drink moderately, but if you only drinking moderation, but
- 1:56Speaker 2: what if you do well here's the thing, she says,
- 1:58Speaker 2: and again she was really on the way out, and
- 2:01Speaker 2: she's taken control of your life. She says, it means
- 2:03Speaker 2: you're now often looking for examples of people who drink
- 2:06Speaker 2: more than you. It means you're looking for people who
- 2:08Speaker 2: are worse at it than you are.
- 2:10Speaker 5: Well. I often say that to my husband, you can
- 2:12Speaker 5: always drink so much more than me.
- 2:13Speaker 3: I do say that to her.
- 2:14Speaker 4: You can always find someone that drinks more than you.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Assess who you're comparing to is probably It's just.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Like you can always find someone fatter than you, always
- 2:25Speaker 5: find someone skinny.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Famous thing. There's always someone worse off that sort of thing,
- 2:30Speaker 2: better off yea than right, exactly more. And this is
- 2:33Speaker 2: I think we're gonna be careful with this one. I
- 2:35Speaker 2: have yes to this nomen.
- 2:37Speaker 3: I'm on two out of five here. I can't afford
- 2:39Speaker 3: another time, and.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Especially with your behavior in New York when you know
- 2:41Speaker 4: we were stopping at service stations and you were buying.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Jack Daniel's Troubled Punch. I reckon someone stop.
- 2:49Speaker 5: The should be do you buy alcohol from service stations

- 2:53Speaker 2: Just to try it?
- 2:54Speaker 1: All?

- 3:18Speaker 2: wonderful time.
