Should there be a word for an 'almost alcoholic'?

Everybody thinks they know what an "alcoholic" is, but what about those who drink too much but fall short of the common definitions of alcoholism? Should there be a word that bridges the gap between alcoholic and non-alcoholic?

Article in the BBC today. BBC News - Should there be a word for an 'almost alcoholic'?
