I saw this question online recently and it was removed about 5 mins after posting. I think it's important to put an answer out there. Here's mine:
Difficult one - why are they drinking it? If they're drinking to "drown out" personal issues, then i suggest they seek help. If they're becoming a "slave" to their drink, and cannot do without, then they might be considered bordering alcoholic.
The problem, however lies in the definition and the definer - i.e. DEFINITION: The AA generally view an alcoholic as someone who is addicted to alcohol and has a maladaptive pattern of drinking that leads to significant personal problems.
DEFINER: You? The drinker is, to the largest extent, the one who has to decide whether they've crossed the line or not. 3-4 cases (slabs?) is a hell of a alot to drink in one week, but some people can take that and not get pissed. If this drinker is pissed every week, then yes, seek help.
