It used to be that reporters and editors were expected to drink -- but so were salesmen.
As for other writers... like science fiction and fantasy writers -- yeah, I've seen some drinkers. Damon Knight offered me a tumbler of scotch (I think it was, it being many years ago) at around 8:45 one morning... when I was getting ready to drive him from a motel to the UMBC library. Not sure if visiting the UMBC Library for research did the "Fun" and "Adventure" parts for him...
