commercials of my youth called "real beer drinkers - people who drink a case or more of beer a week" is worth two dozen people who only consume a drink a week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is roughly the national median. Not everyone in those top two deciles has a diagnosable drinking problem; you could have four drinks every day and never be actively drunk. But that's not the typical pattern. Most of those folks have an alcohol abuse disorder. And they're the target market. "An innkeeper loves a drunkard," says the Yiddish proverb, "except as a son-in-law."Since the alcoholic beverage industries are as dependent on alcohol abuse as a chronic drunk is on his wake-up drink, they fiercely resist any effective policies for curtailing it, starting with higher taxes. (Contrary to myth, taxation takes most of its bit out of heavy drinking rather than casual drinking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because alcohol is a much bigger budget item for heavy drinkers.)
