How often does a heavy drinker typically consume alcohol?

A heavy drinker typically consumes alcohol at least multiple times a week, which aligns with choice B. This classification is based on patterns of consumption that exceed moderate drinking limits established by health guidelines. Heavy drinking implies a significant frequency and volume of consumption that can adversely affect health and daily functioning.

Regular heavy drinking is characterized by consuming large quantities of alcohol on several occasions throughout the week, rather than infrequently or on designated days like weekends. This frequent intake contributes to both physical dependence and a range of health risks associated with alcohol use disorder.

In contrast, other options suggest less frequent use, which does not align with the behavior of a heavy drinker. Daily consumption could indicate heavy drinking but doesn't capture the variability in patterns seen among heavy drinkers adequately, while drinking only on weekends or once a month reflects more moderate or different drinking patterns.
