The short answer is 1 in 5 people in the US drink more than 2 drinks per day on average.
I know many people who fall in the second from the top decile of drinking (i.e. between 2 and 10 drinks a day). Some of the people who I think are in this group are probably actually in the top decile (above 10 drinks a day) and conceal the real quantities they consume
Let me put it this way, 75% of alcohol is sold to people who drink more than 10 drinks per day and this group comprises 10% of the US (the top decile of drinking.) Given the numbers it is pretty clear that a strong majority of this group is not homeless.
