Please, tell me if the following sentence is ok:
I usually don´t eat meat, unless I don´t have any other choice.
I know unless makes the clause negative so it is actually a double negative... but when I replace unless with except if, it doesn´t seem to make sense if it is unless I have any other choice.
Or shouldn´t we use unless in a sentence like this at all and rather replace it with some other expresion?
Thanks a lot
