I'd expect 1-2 drinks a day to be pretty far up there in the distribution where 0 (abstention) is the minimum. There'd be a spike at 0, then a drop, and then a gently sloping upward curve, maybe flattening to a local minimum somewhere lower than 1-2 drinks per day before climbing again. I'd be in there somewhere. I drink occasionally, but orders of magnitude less than 1-2 drinks per day. More like go to a user group 1x or 2x a month and have a drink or two there, or maybe lift a few with buddies after work with similar frequency. With that stuff curtailed by the pandemic, it drops to near 0. That's not abstention, it just doesn't come up. I think that has to be typical of a significant chunk of population. People on the wagon due to alcoholism exist but are likely to be a smaller group.
