21 drinks a week for a female is WAY too much.
Looney, are you sure you know what grapes are? Grapes don't have pits. Seeds I meant. I have actually paused before type 'pits' but I was in a hurry so... and with all this drinking I may be mistaking.

Of course you can complain. But as someone who used to review complaints, your issue that : why are you supposed to lay down? ... Then I said I have 3 shots of straight vodka daily with dinner and he said I will first have to go to rehab before he can prescribe me some meds. ... he consumed 3lb of white grapes. ... Cost of session $40 (co-pay).... pants that reached 1/2 of his calf, white tube socks rolled down from pants and old ugly working boots Won't go far. Psychiatrists are tacky dressers (you're not paying for fashion advice), you sound like an angry alcoholic looking for drugs (that he didn't write), that's a standard co-pay. So the real issue is: Should he eat grapes during a session? And the people reviewing it (Ombud & Psychiatric Chair) are going to wonder: Did he hit in a raw nerve such as why does it take 3 shots to get thru a dinner?Because it is all the fun I can afford at this time! Why not? Why? Not?

Call them back and tell them you are so you can get the help you need. How will they ever know
They'll make her take a multiple choice test when she walks in
Just pick the gay answers.
All loony has to do is tell them she is thinking about pitching for their team.

As long as the alcohol doesn't control you, I don't see a problem with having three shots. Rehab would be necessary only if there is no other way but to have those drinks in order to function.
I use to drink about a bottle of Stolychnaya every other day or sometimes less. Did that for stretches of 4-5 months at the time with a break of 2-3 weeks in between. I was at sea and had become routine, was necessary in order to function. The fact that Stolychnaya was absolutely cheap- about 59c a 750ml bottle - was a plus to the scheme. Cost was not a problem anymore!
As soon as I stoped going at sea, I decided that was time to stop drinking and that was the end of it. Alcohol was my way of coping with the stress and conditions of the job. Maybe your 3 shots have the same purpose: dealing with something but you don't realize it.

This sounds unusual. Did you go through testing to find out what your issues are like depression, anxiety, bi-polar, etc?
When I went in for insomnia, I kept a record of how I slept/wake everyday and what woke me for several years. It wasn't required but was a record I didn't have to recall and gave the sleep/wake pattern over time. As I went through various sleep meds, it gave a thorough record of how they were working or not working.
I saw a mental health physicians assistant at the local clinic. I got to sit up and face her so she could read my body language as well as emotions.
The manner of your Psychs dress/manners does not indicate he doesn't know what he is doing. Mainly to narrow down what your core issues are. Maybe a group setting would be better. Only you know if alcohol rehab would be right spot for you.

What does believing in god have to do with calling BS on your post? Doctors offices don't refuse to help you (and you really need some help) because you're not gay. Call them back and tell them you are so you can get the help you need. How will they ever know? What if there is a TEST P.S. You need to call Sense OF Humor Adjustment Group for People Without Sense Of Humor. I have a sense of humor. But some of the stuff you post doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe it's the language thing. I think English is your second language. Am I right?

Looney, are you sure you know what grapes are? Grapes don't have pits. Says the non drinker. I can do that in a weekend easy. Guess I'm a lush too. Or does that make me a drunk? Eh. Who cares. I'm gonna have another drink.

3 shots =75 ml or about. Eh! Chump change. Unless your shots are a pint each, then you are fine. Or you just drink some water/juice after and you dilute it! No, she's not fine. According to all the guidelines, moderate drinking is 7 drinks per week for women. She's drinking 21 a week. She's an alcoholic, and even admitted she needs 3 drinks a day to cope. I can understand why he'd want her in rehab.

No, it's probably because of all the shots of vodka she has to have (3 with a meal??)
No wonder her Dr suggested Rehab.

Guidelines are in place just for that: to guide. That doesn't mean that we have to care about them. Depending on the individual, on his/her body mass, tolerance to alcohol, the guidelines can be interpreted or adjusted. And Tloonya, she's russian. That's gotta count for something! Kidding aside, I see your point about possibly needing rehab or at least reduce the intake on her own. That is what I'd try first: reduce it on my own. I'm sugesting that because going to rehab might mean being gone for a longer period of time that can be easily interpreted the wrong way. Society still stigmatizes, associates ones will to take control of a problem with an uncontrollable problem therefore "somebody had to force you to because you couldn't" And there are some that will never let her forget that she was once in a rehab! Just to be mean or in spite.

People who NEED alcohol to cope have a problem. Can they stop drinking for, say, two weeks? Lots of folks say "I don't have a drinking problem. I can stop any time I want", but they can't and don't. I worked in detox/rehab for a long time. Just about every single patient said "I don't have a problem. I'm not an alcoholic." They were alcoholics.

I'm not saying there's a higher percentage of alcoholism in Russia, but if you need 3 shots on a daily basis to get through dinner, you have a problem. back to the OP's question: can she file a complaint? Yes but it's not going to be received as she thinks because the reviewing panel will see needing alcohol to get through family dinner on a daily basis and think that there's something bizarre about that. like the guy hit a raw nerve instead of just being a bad dresser. The Russian immigrates I know don't drink on a daily basis. That's an old preconceived notion (more commonly called prejudice)

Sorry, @tbird, my response would be the same if someone needed 3 glasses of wine or beer or shots daily to get thru dinner with the family. It's the quantity of ETOH and the trigger that is the red flag not the type which is why I did not specify any type

3 drinks a night isn't alot, if you have a tolerance built up. 3 shots would be equal to 3 glass of wine with dinner. A bit more than usual, but not a whole lot. Also - isn't our looney russian? so it's a point of pride to shun the wine and do vodka, yes? But - no one has pointed out the most important point for us YMers. How much is this cosing the looney household? I'm sure she's not drinking the cheapo vodka, but something imported from the homeland? No. Not imported. I had plenty of this over there. I am here now.

We are having a dinner and watching TV and drinking with it for about 3 hours. Than we go to bed. I drank more than that when I was 13!

I was staring in the window thinking - 'hitting bottom line' but look who is talking. Professor with no manners. He needs to send himself into rehab as well. I just don't know which one.
