Same here, and there are a lot of people like that. But there are also a lot (more?) people for whom drinking is only a means to get drunk.

Apparently 10% of people drink 60% of the booze in the USA.

Other countries will be different I would think.

Nah that's the pattern in most countries. Alcohol consumption follows the same sort of Pareto distribution in Europe as well. And on top of that the harms from alcohol are overwhelmingly concentrated in the very high levels of use population (they are far from linear on a per drink basis).
