yes, alcohol is a social lubricant, and pain reliever. For most of humanity's history, pain, and strife were very high and mortality also. The use of alcohol in a non-abusive way, enabled people to find some comfort during the pain/strife, improving survival.
I agree it is a bold statement, but it does make sense.

In some cultures today wine remains a huge part of their daily routine (France/Spain are examples). Even children drink wine in France!
