What Is the Difference Between “Consistent” and “Constant”?
Question by ESL Student: What is the difference between “Consistent” and “Constant”?
The previous examples confused me a little. Like is it the same to say “He consistently drinks alcohol” and “He constantly drinks alcohol?”
Thanks for your help!

Because that what (s)he usually drink?
Am I getting the meaning right?

Constantly means he drinks alcohol all the time. He drinks ever second, minute, hour etc.
