Hello
dont know if I’m in right place but here goes
I surrendered my license 3 years ago on advice of my doctor due to alcohol related seizures. Doctor said I am not epileptic just basically have a lower seizure threshold than most. Anyway I’ve not had a seizure in over a year mainly due to cutting down what I drink so applied for my license.Got asked to go for a medical which I went for yesterday . I had no worries about the cbt test as I never really had a drinking problem . However I’m worried the way I answered one question on the audit test might have fooked me. I told them I drink 3 days a month 10-12 units when I do. Which I think is safe limit for me since I’ve never had a seizure drinking less than than 20 units. It’s worked for over a year. Anyway the next question is how many drinks in a sitting . Well I thought in my head 1 vodka 1 unit so 10 drinks and 10+ was the highest option . Doctor said a pint was 1 drink so now thinking I should have put 5-6 and when the dvla look at the form and see I’m drinking 10 drinks at a time there just gonna say no. Any thoughts ? Rest of test went fine scored 5/40 on the audit with 4 marks coming from that one question above. 5 would be a good mark for a normal person but with my condition i don’t know . Other questions were all answered no. Guess I just have to wait and see but as soon as I said it I thought fooked it.
