"DMA thinks most people have abused alcohol.

But the reality is that only a small percentage of the population has abused alcohol. It is not normal or typical to be an alcoholic."

Thanks for sorting that out and saving me the effort. <g> Being an alcoholic or having an alleged alcoholic temperament is not remotely the same as ever having abused alcohol by that five drink measure. I abused alcohol once, by that definition. It was a glorious, glorious night in Taxco, Mexico when I was a student. But I probably haven't had many more than a hundred drinks in my whole life.
I would imagine that the majority if not the vast majority of people have abused alcohol at least once.

Apples and oranges.
