"About 52% of people age 45 to 64 are "regular" drinkers, meaning they had at least 12 drinks in the previous year"

Twelve Drinks in a YEAR is a "Regular Drinker"? One a Month?

Who makes these ridiculous rules? Oh yeah, the government. Bureaucrats gotta do something to justify their salary. Why not re-do the definition of a "regular" drinker?
