He says he stays as healthy as he can, because he doesn't dare visit a fourth doctor.

You may be right; that mentioning alcohol is not a trigger for Mike. I don't know. But if we are "the trigger" I would feel bad about causing the problem for him. I think it would be interesting if Michel would add a feature where you can "twit" a certain word (like twit a person). So that any message where the "twitted" word is mentioned is not showing. I see all kind of possibilities there :)
