"Mein Zahnarzt trinkt zu viel Alkohol."

Translation: My dentist drinks too much alcohol.

[erikwingard]

A hard drinking dentist, with bad teeth, from Sweden, who installed Duo's gold teeth; did you find this dentist on Yelp Duo? I can't tell if you had a really great time with this dentist or are just being really hard on him?

[Martin135869]

A hard drinking dentist doesn't need to use anesthetics. He can put patient into sleep by breathing into his face.

[Multieman]

LOOOL!

[MelissaMassacre]

I hope he doesn't drink on the job. :)

[DerDieDasGuessr]

Not on the job, only just before.

"My dentist drinks too much" should be accepted. In English, that it is alcohol is implied.

[Jd_jd_jd]

My question is the reverse: "Mein Zahnarzt trinkt zu viel" ... Native German speakers, would this imply alcohol?

[ThomasBart960273]

Yes, it would

[MeHigh11]

I agree.

[springvice]

Nope for the lack of context, especially if children learning German with this app.

[beireefer]

Looks like duo is going to get the wrong tooth removed

[prodigyvictus]

Are you spying on your dentist, Duo?

[Galicianma]

guess duolingo has some kind of Trauma with dentists xD

[DavidBock9]

I'm doing a root canal on a green owl. Hmm, I think I'll have a few drinks first.

[ManishGupt731746]

Ha ha! Nice to have some humour

Und das warüm hat er schlechte Zähne als du vor das in einer anderen satz schon gesagt

[HelenBoss]

I know I said it right and you showed it as incorrect! This happens too often.

[HarshalSha14]

my response "my dentist drinks a lot of alcohol" was marked wronf

[HarshalSha14]

Why is "My dentist drinks a lot of alcohol" incorrect?

[Klothkat]

I am unable to answer!, it marks me wrong as soon as I touch the screen to speak!

[Rodrik1406]

How does one say alcoholic in German?

[Vlada296310]

If you drink more than your doctor, it means that you are an alcoholic.

[Waterip0]

Ummm you may need a new dentist

[Fang233345]

I was marked wrong with "My dentist drinks too much"... in English we don't have to say the word "alcohol", and people already know. Am I not right?

[Skyler2Rash]

Das ist nicht gut...

[Pamela233937]

Is that the dentist from the clinic? ; >

[rphdrgn85]

Confirm. Duolingo hates dentists

[Anuraag398262]

He has more chances of getting a cancer.

[GregoryFal3]

Wer ist Ihr Zahnarzt, Duo? Doc Holiday?

[VartanKarapetyan]

isn't 'a lot of alcohol' correct?

[Deepaver]

'My dentist drinks a lot of alcohol' - should be accepted

[DianaLawho]

Dl states MY DENTIST DRINKS TOO MUCH, ok. My response MY DENTIST DRINKS A LOT was marked wrong. Both are the same?

[ArtistryHM]

Not necessarily. "A lot" doesn't always imply that someone is drinking "too much". I could say that someone drinks "a lot" of alcohol, but not "too much". Does that make sense? Sorry for the late-ish reply.

[p-hill]

No, they are not the same. There is a difference between "a lot" and "too much."

[Keith224649]

Bahaha!
