[quote=Anonymous]You can look up an info graphic on this. Someone put together data using both self-report and aggregate alcohol sales to guess at about how much people are drinking a week. According to that it looks like 50 to 60% of people drink not at all or very little. Another 20% of people drink something between two and 14 drinks a week. 10% of people drink something like 15 to 30 drinks a week. And then the top 10% of people drink about 75 drinks a week. That top 10% of people That are drinking more than 10 drinks a day are the alcoholics. So I can see what you’re asking. Here is “is my husband in that 10% of kind of heavy drinkers that aren’t necessarily alcoholics or is he in that last group of people?“
I don’t know that I would say that his medical diagnoses sound like they’re specifically related to his alcohol use Barrett esophagitis is from reflux.  I don’t know about the fatty liver.

I’m kind of curious about how he is functioning. I’m not sure if he meant that once a week he’s staying up late , drinking, and sleeping till noon. Or is this happening every day? Does he have a job? How can he sleep until noon? If he isn’t able to work because of his drinking or because he’s often hung over then that would be more concerning to me than anything else that you’ve said in your post so far necessarily.
You can look up the DSM five criteria on Google for substance use disorder and see where he fits.[/quote]
