> that drinks alcohol

I haven't really thought about whether I would be a business partner with someone, but in this case quantity certainly matters. When people say smoker, it is implied someone who smokes often and constantly throughout the day - 24/7. The equivalent drinker would be an alcoholic, not just someone who has a beer on Friday.

1) "social smoking" is a thing just like social drinking

2) alcoholism has much worse direct consequences than heavy smoking

I used to smoke, and it was around 4 a day. Hardly all day, but I was still considered a smoker.
