I think the “we” here is misleading. As individuals, we tend to assign our behaviors as the norm and applied to everyone. I for example, and my wife, do not drink more that two or three, ever. That breaks the “we” immediately.

It is common, but not absolute, so saying “we” is a bit misleading and any answers given, without that caveat, will only reinforce the misunderstanding.

Not everyone is a closet alcoholic and alcoholism cannot happen to just “anyone”.
