Just spending a 24hrs being aware of people's alcohol consumption habits in town or shopping I can see why this would be a likely statistic.
But how does your friend's source define an alcoholic? Is it a behavioral or physical? both?
I'm not arguing the stat, but it does depend on how you define and alcoholic, because millions of people binge and abuse alcohol, every Friday and Saturday (and many other nights) but that doesn't mean to say they're an alcoholic or can't stop.
