Using only ingested alcohol quantity, where individual erroneous values are counted and weigh a lot, alcohol consumption evaluation is biased. An original alcohol consumption evaluation is explained: ordinal factor analysis, and evaluation scales are described. This study shows several people groups, whose sensitivity about alcohol consumption safety varies greatly: from people whose alcohol consumption is low and have a bad picture of alcohol, to people whose consumption is high, have a good picture of alcohol, or think that their consumption is low or normal. In fact, for the last ones, alcohol consumption safety will never be effective.
