Alcoholic affects how many people around them?

Question by m: Alcoholic affects how many people around them?
I’m writing an essay for my college English class on alcohol. My professor told me Alcoholics affects at least four other people around them. I can’t find that statistic anywhere on the web. Could you help me? If the number isn’t true, could you help me find specifically how many people Alcoholics affect?
