For a long time, doctors and the general public have distinguished between occasional heavy drinkers (for example, when going out with friends) and heavy daily drinkers, formerly known as “chronic alcoholics”. Today, alcohologists (specialists in alcohol-related diseases) no longer use this term, because this distinction is no longer made. Indeed, alcohol addiction specialists have been able to show that there is a continuum between these occasional and daily drinkers. In fact, that’s all that makes alcohol disorders dangerous: it doesn’t take much to tip the scales one way or the other. Consequence: Although victims of chronic alcoholism are not the most numerous, all people with an alcoholism disorder are at risk. Indeed, if there is an undeniable health risk beyond three standard drinks per day on average (such as those served in bars) for men or two daily drinks for women – or 21 glasses per week for men and 14 for women – this does not mean that there are none for less consumption: we are not equal when it comes to addiction, some being much more vulnerable than others.
