Take it from someone who knows firsthand, any time alcohol impacts your life in a negative way repeatedly, you are most likely an alcoholic. There is no such thing as a “hardcore” alcoholic. Some alcoholics function day to day better than others, and can be physically dependent even if it appears they are just sipping periodically throughout the day. There is no such thing as a “sweet spot” for alcoholics.
That being said, there are potentially a couple clues that could lead you to believe Maura had an issue with alcohol. 1) Two separate accidents within the span of a week. The potential for alcohol being involved is more likely than less likely. Maura attended a party just prior to the first accident. Alcohol was found in the car on the night she disappeared. 2) There is a family history of substance abuse with Maura’s oldest sister. There are both genetic and environmental components in addiction.
