I don't think he was carrying brandy just to drink it back in the EF. At the time the flashbacks are based on, you would want to carry some kind of alcohol with you, it has many uses.

I would agree he's something of a stress drinker, but it seems to be a drink or two, nothing serious, although the connection with his father is interesting!
