I filled out my "go to hospital" form the other day and in the "how much booze do you consume?" I wrote moderate to lots!

it was the first thing the quack asked me about!! he said "how much is lots?"

A co-worker told his doctor that he drank 10-15 stubbies every night.
Predictably, the doctor had a bit of a double take, so my co-worker said "that's on week-nights. I drink more on weekends".

Worrying bit is that nobody is sure if he was exaggerating or not...

Update.

VW did the right thing and replaced the engine.
It probably didn't hurt that the "victims" have a media profile. (The trip was a fund raiser for charity and they got some TV time.)

Regardless. Good result and well done VW.

Good outcome. Probably not many companies less able to weather bad publicity than VW right now...
