That's plenty of time to be a full blown alcoholic.

You don’t need to be a full blown acoholic to be affected, it’s simply a correlation of more alcohol consumption to faster decline of the brain. Having a job that requires you to be sober more hours of the week might bump you into a lower risk category.

Not to mention that your full time alcoholic isn’t taking 12 hour shifts off to be sober.
