Yeah, pretty much every weekend in the summer when I'm up at the lake I have at least 5 beers. Granted I'm not pounding them in a few hours, but over the entire day.
That being said I do have probably 1 night a month where I go pretty hard (usually at least one rugby party a month).
I suppose it's all just a label.
Am I a heavy drinker? I suppose according to this I am.
Do I have a problem with alcohol? I'd say no, I like drinking, but I don't feel the urge to do it every day, and there are lots of nights where I just don't feel like it at all.
I think sometimes things like this can cause problems. What about the guy who comes home from work every day and has 4 scotces? By this criteria he isn't a heavy drinker, but I'd be willing to bet in the course of a year he drinks a hell of a lot more than I do.
