Yes, but I think that the majority of alcohol is consumed by addicts. I have a few 750mL bottles of liquor that I use to make a drink for myself once or twice a week. My alcoholic childhood friend has drunk an entire handle of liquor (1.75L) in a day and then walked to the liquor store in the snow to get more. I’m counted as an alcohol user, but my usage is a rounding error of his.
- bcrosby95 7y agoYes, in the past I knew a couple people that were addicted - as in, they got the shakes if they didn't drink. They would drink several 750ml bottles of vodka per day.
- fjp 7y agoI'm struggling to find a source, but I was taught in school that some large majority of the total beer consumption is by a core group of beer drinkers that average > 3/4 gallon (around eight cans of beer) per day
- Loughla 7y agoI was staggered, at my last health physical, to learn that --light to light/moderate-- alcohol consumption for someone my size is 14 beers a week. I have 14 beers (or its equivalent hard alcohol) over the course of a month or two, and that still seemed like a lot.
- kortilla 7y ago2 beers a day to be specific. 4+ beers in a single day for a male is in the heavy alcohol use classification
- mrguyorama 7y agoThe normal recommendation is 2 "servings (beer, shot, glass of wine) per day, without any roll over. That's the important part. You can't really measure it on a weekly basis as you can't have all of those beers in just a few days.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y ago90% of the booze is consumed by 10% of the population. They're all alcoholics. These are the people who prop up the industry.
