@OP
According to your post, 10% is the national "rate". So any USAmerican profession with under 10% is notable for having fewer alcoholics, yet you have listed many such professions as having "lots of alcoholics". Also you forgot to mention natural gas and oil company executives and church pastors. Thanks.
