There are certainly people who do have a drinking problem anywhere but cycling does sometimes have maybe more problems (or at least I notice it a bit more) I certainly have been drinking a touch more because of cycling. Luckily no issues, I am a rare drinker just drinking more than I have in the past. Granted there is also a really excellent liquor store near work and I do work at a bike shop but yeah a few drinks a month luckily is not much.
I think people need to learn to enjoy alcohol without over indulging or if they cannot they need to do without. It is a tough road but doable. My friend is 19 years sober this year.
