The carrying of some spirit in Medieval times was quite common tho, folks-- you might drink it when it got cold or use it to clean wounds. XD

From what we've seen of David in Storybrooke, he might have a drink when stressed. Also common, and is not alcoholism. If I was stressed about lying to my daughter and a gaggle of witches from my past showed up, I'd have trouble sleeping too and might want a bit of whiskey to calm my nerves or help me sleep.
