Here is a staggering fact: the top 10% of American adults, which comprises more than twenty million people, drink an average of 74 drinks PER WEEK. This is a staggering number to me. Like the author of the article, I originally assumed it was a misprint.
When I was in college I was a typical fun-lovin' college dude. I often stopped with my buddies for a few pitchers after golf. I sometimes participated in drinking contests, and even won one. Yet I can tell you with absolute certainty that there has never been even a single week in my life when I consumed 74 drinks, and these people do it every week, an average of ten drinks per day, every day of the year.
