Hello,
I've been trying not to panic or worry but I just cant help it.
I'm 4 weeks away from completing my 3yr ban (been to prison - did community service - lost job etc etc)
All good now as i'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel BUT this medical is bothering me.
Throughout the past 12 months i've maintained my usual drinking habits which realistically are 2 nights a week (Sat & Wed) where I can drink around 25 units so combined per week around 40 to 50 units. Which is approx 7 units per day across 7 days... I dont drink on any other days - in my 20's, healthy and fit.
Anyway... - the last time I had more than 4 units was on the 24th of Jan 2015. Since then i've had very little (small bottle of beer 1.2 units here and there).
I now have 4 weeks before my ban is completed and the medical is booked for early March.
I know 100% im not dependent - BUT with the previous drinking I was doing i'm really not sure whether ill pass the medical...
Two questions:
In your experience am I likely to pass?
On what grounds may I make an appeal?
Thank you in advance,
J.
