15% of people who drink alcohol become alcoholics? That seems steep...

  Not really, but it depends on your definition of alcoholism a lot. For example, if you treat every alcoholic as "alcoholic for life, with some of them sober" it makes sense.

    I took a look at the study and indeed they defined it as Alcohol dependent at one time in life.
