English term or phrase: heavy drinking
does it mean habit of drinking or severe drinking?
In the following sentence "Alcohol use disorders are a heterogeneous group of problems ranging in severity from the heavy-drinking college student who occasionally misses classes to the person with severe and chronic alcoholism who experiences serious medical and social consequences of drinking." I understand heavy drinking a habit, almost nonproblematic ever.
however, in the following "Heavy drinking also causes a variety of medical problems and can affect any organ system in the body. Heavy drinking may cause conditions such as cardiomyopathy, liver diseases, gastritis, ulcers, pancreatitis, and peripheral neuropathies." heavy drinking sounds like a real issue, a major problem.
which meaning is correct? or is there a difference between heavy-drinking and heavy drinking?
*quoted passages are taken from a book about alcohol use disorders
