It’s easy to understand when you realize that certain types of alcoholics can’t bear to be sober. That is to say, they are drinking around the clock. An all-day buzz would take ~16 drinks a day to maintain.
One of the “tells” of this class of alcoholic is drinks stashed all over the place to facilitate this round the clock buzz.

It doesn't take long to develop a tolerance that allows one to function the next morning with 10-15 drinks/night, which is two to three wine bottles. I've seen several people fall into that trap out of desperation due to insomnia, since the never-ending hangover can be preferable to chronic extreme sleep deprivation. That's easily 3500+ drinks a year and all it takes is one of those per 9 teetotalers to get 1 drink/day average.
