[Phoebe, Doctor, at the doctors]

Doctor : Miss Buffay, would you like to sit down. I'm afraid it's bad news.

Phoebe : what do you mean?

Doctor : I'm afraid you have...alcohol poisoning

Phoebe : what?

Doctor : alcohol poisoning, you said you drank a lot on your holiday. I'm afraid the Alcohol poisoned you

Phoebe : how serious is it?

Doctor: its not that bad. I think we caught it early. You'll have to take some medication, something like Ibrufon, or anti-inflammatory tablets (my mum's a nurse) for your stomach. The bad news is you can't drink for three weeks.

Phoebe : WHAT?!

Doctor : no alcohol for three weeks

Phoebe : now how am I gonna get through work?
