About 10% of all people (including those who do not drink) are considered problem drinkers - meaning that they have significant problems when drinking that they don't have otherwise. Many problem drinkers will quit drinking after a particularly embarrassing or troubling experience. The definition of alcoholic is tough to pin down, but it's thought that the alcoholic is the person who continues to drink even way after the costs outweigh the benefits. Of people who do drink, these are probably about 3%, but again this is a really tough question due to various understandings of what constitutes Alcoholism, trouble identifying and classifying alcoholics, and the fact that it's a pretty controversial topic to start with.
