I only joined it with 20 mins to go, but I still contest how it proved anything

Drinking 16 units a day isn't binge drinking, it's alcoholism. Her doing that for 22 days isn't the same as binge drinking

One's not drinking too much say twice a week, and the other is just obsessional behaviour

Then one of the "experts" said they were worried about what she would be like afterwards.

No s**t sherlock
