It's probably a side effect of the kinds of bubbles we build. I'm a moderate drinker: I drink a whisky every 3 days or so and then socially will drink a few pints, probably once a week or once every two weeks. The majority of people I spend time with are roughly the same, except my wife who hardly drinks at all. Internet commenters do love a binary though, and don't forget that most of what you read on the internet is written by insane people: https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most_of_what_you_read_on_the_internet_is_written/ https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most...
