It is true. I guy I used to work with got to work at 5 am every morning sharp. He left at 3 pm every day as well. His first stop on his way home was at the liquor store where he bought a case of bud except fridays when he got 4 cases for friday night and the weekend. My sister in law (the one I cant stand) gets drunk every night at work. I know many people who are like this and sadly the stat, at least in the people that I know, are pretty danm accurate.... I go through spells where I will drink 1 beer a day for a couple weeks, and spells where I don't drink for months. It has been over 2 months since I had a drink. Then once or twice a year, I have a weekend where I have fun... I would fall in the bottom 90 percent category, but a lot of that is due to kids, work, and responsibilities. |

There's no way that's right. I'm easily in the top 5% at my school and I only drink around 25 drinks a week. You would die if you drank half a case a day. |

this isn't just about students and no wouldn't die, not quickly at least. alcoholics drink a lot, i've known a couple and they often drink a lot more than half a case a day. wait wasn't it you who said in a previous thread that you drank a lot, like almost 10 a day? |

Yea but only on Friday and Saturday. I have like 5 or 6 on Wednesdays usually. 10 a day is just ridiculous that's so expensive. A cheap 30 rack of beer is $15 here so it would cost $38 a week or $2000 a year to keep that habit up. |

2000$ a year is not that much if you have a steady income which most adults do. i guess that explains why this stat doesn't really represent students; they can't afford it.

Jack, it is possible and many do it. I know another guy who drank a 5th of hard liquor every day. That is why they are called alcoholics. Their life revolves around alcohol. You have fun on the weekend but an alcoholic does that every day. They many times hold steady jobs with successful careers, for the simple point of supporting their alcoholism. It kills them quicker, but that is why it is a sickness. These stats definitely don't apply to college students.... It is for the average working population.... |

the crazy thing is that this stat implies that a whopping 10% of american adults are alcoholics, that's way more than i would've guessed. makes me wonder what the numbers would look like here, probably about the same... |
