The biggest difference is if alcohol is part of your routine or just for special occasions.

If it's part of your routine you might have a glass or two of wine with dinner most nights. Or a couple of pints in the pub after work. Maybe you never really get drunk, but you're drinking a lot of alcohol.

I used to drink pretty infrequently. Sure, I'd have a six pack a party every now and then but most of the time I was busy with other things.

Now that there's not so many 'other things' to do I do find myself drinking more and more regularly.

But it seems that a small number (ie 10-20ml of ethanol) a day is less dangerous than binge drinking occasionally.
