Doctor on a date told me I was drinking too much

Physician Responded

I am a female in my early twenties and on the dating apps. I had a mainly pleasant date with a man who is a doctor yesterday. It wasn't until I started drinking that he seemed taken aback and he asked me how often I drink. I told him I drink socially, on a night going out may have upwards of 4, obviously on a date I am going to have less than that. I didn't have too many drinks. I then got sort of a lecture about how he has seen people ravaged by alcohol and it has made me sort of self-reflect.

I later checked his profile and saw he was not a drinker so maybe this wasn't a good fit. Regardless, if someone is young is 10+ drinks a week alright? I work out and really value fitness so am all ears here. Thanks.
