Drinking Frequency Counts, Too
The risk also increases if you binge drink or
drink heavily on a frequent basis, according to National Institutes of Health research.
If you drink heavily only one day a month, your chances of having an alcohol
use disorder is about 20%. But if you exceed the guidelines once a week, the
chances jump to 33%.
For
those who drink heavily twice a week, the chances of developing a problem is
50% - one in every two people. These percentages were found in a study of the
drinking patterns of more than 43,000 U.S. adults.
