D and I both had doctors' appointments yesterday. Completely different issues, different body parts acting up, different systems, but the first thing both of them came up with was "no caffeine, no alcohol."
Now, D and I are both insulin dependent diabetics (and I'm genetically Mormon), so neither one of us drink alcohol, and neither one of us like the taste of coffee, so caffeine isn't a big thing with either of us. But it got me thinking - anytime I go in to a doctor with any complaint, the first thing (well, not the first thing. The first thing is "did you know you're overweight") but the second thing is "no caffeine, no alcohol."
Just wondering why those two are singled out - and why, if they're so bad for you, they're even allowed to be sold over the counter?
