This is truly impressive. http://gawker.com/who-drives-the-alcohol-industry-alcoholics-1639454291 Quote: The top 10 percent of American drinkers - 24 million adults over age 18 - consume, on average, 74 alcoholic drinks per week... Or, if you prefer, 10 drinks per day. That is a lot of runs to the bathroom. |

I'm drunk once every weekend on average. I don't think I even come close to 74 drinks in a month. Thats insane ![]() |

These are your full blown, yet functioning, alcholics. My dickhead of a grandpa probably did 10 a day. He was often passed out at his desk by late afternoon, but he'd rally for a few drinks at home! |

Every old drunk I know of lived forever. Pussification of America nowadays... |

Yup. When they stop drinking is when they get sick. |

If you go out every Friday and Saturday that is not too hard to do. Throw in Sunday football or Summer Softball and its really easy if you like to drink. |

This will sound weird, but it disgusts me that someone can drink that much beer. Liquor I could easily do (though I wouldn't), but drinking that much beer would make me vomit early and often. |

Throw in an old school nickel beer night, and its over! These days........Nah |

Yeah, looked like drinking beer was one of his few skills in life. |

74 a week is full-blown alcoholic drinking every day. |

I had a business partner who would put away at least a bottle and a half of Merlot at lunch everyday. One day we had an important conference call in the afternoon. I went into his office and he was sleeping. I said, "Hey, you know we've got that thing..." He slurred, "Yeah, just put the file on my desk and gimme another ten minutes." I swear after that ten minutes he spun his chair around and he was as fresh as a daisy. He blew those motherfuckers away in that call. Just unbelievable. |

You guys are breaking this down like the 10% (sounds high to me, maybe low in some regions) are drinking all 74 after work and on weekends or something, which they are not. |

Yeah, I think they start in the morning and go until they pass out. In that circumstance, 74 in a week is easy. |
