In your experience how prevalent is alcoholism among the high ups in your industry?

Do the more senior players grow out of the alcohol?

I dont think Im particularly naive, I have family that struggles with alcohol but fuck me there were a lot of drinkers at my IBD internship who at least bordered on alcoholism. 

Just wondering how prevalent it is when you get higher up
