It's not alcoholism if you are offsetting the baseline deficiency. Drinking every day is basically like taking vitamin D syppliments up north.
Actually it may be the opposite. Alcohol is needed for people within settlements to bond.

wouldn't it be our ancestors just liked booze too much and the liver said alright genes, hold my beer
But if you want to avoid withdrawls.. you better harvest and store that honey. And that wheat- all that beer, all that mead. Just to stop shivering.. the addiction of civilization.. and all you need is earthen kegs and a cellar.
