Do you think these stats are reliable? I'm aware that alcoholism affects 10% of people but I find this kind of staggering.

They pulled from a ten year old book which pulled it from a 18 year old self reported survey—whose results were doubled to make them line up with alcohol sales. It’s bad info. This distribution would put a significant number of people at over 250gms of ethanol a day.
Yes. Some people do that. But it’s highly unlikely that 24 million Americans do that every day of every week for weeks at a time. The number of people with that level of alcohol consumption is likely a small fraction of that
