“If you consume 10+ drinks per day, you almost certainly have a drinking problem.” Lol.

So either you don't drink, you drink once a week or you have more than 10 drinks a day according to that "fact". No in between.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

Nah, they’re including the 30% who don’t drink in the 60% number.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It’s missing “on average” for the two categories that do drink. Otherwise correct.

I'm part of that alleged 30%, but it seems like everyone I know besides me and my husband drink at least occasionally.

Sounds like they could be counting children.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ah. I wonder what the percentage is among adults.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah there's a huge gap between the 60% that have 1 drink a week, and the top 10%. I have more than 1 but less than 73, where do I fit?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You’re in the 60%, presumably. Those statistics are missing “on average” for the two drinking categories. Pretty sure that unless you 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

2/2 have at least 50 drinks every week on average you’re not in that top 10%.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'll give them the benefit of a doubt, until someone confirms they have 2-73 drinks a week.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Confirmed: I drink between 2 and 73 drinks a week. I'm currently at 2 for the week.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Lol. Sorry.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

They mean 60% of people (including the 30% who don’t drink) have 0-1 drinks per week. So 30% of people have between 2-73 per week.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

That’s not what that article says (good, since otherwise 10% of American adults have more than 73 drinks every week). 30% don’t drink. 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

2/2 The 10% of drinkers that drink the most average 73 drinks per week. The remaining 60% American adults average 1 drink per week.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The important part that I was trying to express is that “60%” quoted in the graphic includes the same 30% non-drinker demographic quoted.

It’s also worth noting that these studies habitually underestimate drinking. People fail to report cultural vices (sex, drugs, etc).

I like how you either have zero drinks, one drink, or 74 drinks a week. And the percentages cover the entire population....

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Right. And I don't drink anything like 70+ drinks a week. That's crazy! I don't think I should be put in that "alcoholic" category. Haha.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Actually, if you drink 2 drinks your probably in the top 30%. Also, you’re more likely to be friends with similar drinking habits.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It doesn't, the bottom 30% who never drink are included in the 60% who drink less than 1 drink a week.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So it says little about the 30% who drink 1 or more drinks per week.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's worded to be shocking, but the top ten percent are those that drink 2+ drinks a week. Apparently there are some outliers.

8 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

“Worded to be shocking” is being unnecessarily generous. As worded, it’s patently false, like half of these “fact” dumps usually are.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

"Outliers" So I'm in the top 10% but there's still some guy drinking at about 20 drinks *a day* to balance out my weaksauce.
