Holy crap thats a lot.
It's not for an adult. if you come home and 3 nights/ week have 4 beer (I have friends who do that), that puts down 12. Now you've just got to suck back 6 beer on friday and 6 on saturday. VERY easy. I personally have about 30/month or less at the moment.

100 drinks/month is a sh!tload of alcohol, how is that considered "social drinking?"

I probably average 3-4 drinks per month, if that.

4 beers a night 3 days a week + 12 drinks on weekends is a lot of drinking.

Most people drink no where near that amount. Even in college I could never hit those kinds of levels..

Heavy social drinking :) If you go out on a friday and saturday you can pack away 10 drinks/night easy, so then you've merely got to find another 5 during the week. I really know people who average 100/month and somebdoy I emailed this story to says he puts away "at least 30-40/week". He has a drinking problem though (though the case can be made easily that naybody having 100/month has a problem).

I didn't hit them in college either, but i know people who would go out for a solid night of drinking on thursday,friday,saturday. 8 beer/night and you've hit your quota!

Easily done. I used to clear 8 pints a night before hitting the bottles or spirits. 25 drinks a weekend isn't hard.

Damn, I never realized how many people on here seem to have (or have had) a drinking problem. 25 drinks a week is too much, regardless of how well you handle it. I guess this study just proves it :p

That is because you were weak, grasshopper. In my prime drinking days I could do a case a night

Heavy drinkers show brain damage, what a suprise! Of course, typical thinking you can expect from a news organization like CNN (because one like Fox would just ignore it, or give it to O'Reilly): social drinking is different from other drinking.
Imbibing alcohol is imbibing alcohol.
Somewhere around 5-10 a week should actually be good for you...20-30...a bit much.
