There’s no way to write this post without sounding really smug, but: yesterday a medical professional said to me “I … think the half-life of alcohol is six hours” and I nodded but internally I was like “alcohol usually doesn’t have first-order kinetics, you’d be better off just using the ‘you burn off one drink an hour’ rule that everyone knows”

Whenever something like this happens I’m split between “I don’t want to be That Guy” and “but what if at some point I trust a doctor about something I don’t know and actually they’re just wrong”
