    I feel like we’re missing an important piece of the puzzle: are they an alcoholic?

      Anyone who drinks more than a few times a week in the US is likely an alcoholic. Put someone in the hospital and have them discuss their usage with nurses over a variety of days… you will get quotes like (1-2 per week and 1-2 per day out of the same person) then you will have a nurse ask what their weekend drinking looks like and they will say “around a six pack”

      Just my observations, maybe I work in a depressed part of the state.
