    May I ask what you consider to be alcohol abuse? Yes, there are papers and sites and all that. I tend towards trusting the opinion of people on the ground a bit more.

      CDC’s take on excessive alcohol

      Binge drinking, the most common form of excessive drinking, is defined as consuming

      For women, 4 or more drinks during a single occasion. For men, 5 or more drinks during a single occasion.

      Heavy drinking is defined as consuming

      For women, 8 or more drinks per week. For men, 15 or more drinks per week.

      Hospital usually see people on their worse. Friends and family see them on the way to their worse stage.
