That's not 10X the general population. That's 81X. One in nine drink 9X what nine other people do.
So, you have a relationship with alcohol, it's likely not a healthy one. It's addiction, all the way down.
So if you have a relationship with alcohol it is most likely a healthy one, and it's "addiction all the way down" for... a minority.
You have a favorite drink, a regular bar, a liquor store that knows you - you are probably one of the ten percent. Believe it or not, most of us don't go to a bar most months of the year.
That doesn't really match my observations ,or NIH data https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohols-effects-health/alcohol-to...
There the majority (18 and over, and slightly under 50% of 12 and over) report consumption in the last month.
Of those, a bit under 7% report "heavy usage". You can look up the definitions, but doesn't include e.g. "usually has a beer or two with dinner".
The category you describe definitely exists, but I don't think it's anywhere close to a majority, and there are also at least a couple reasonable categories between that problematic or abusive consumption.
