But we all, all human beings, have underlying stuff, don't we? What happened with the alcoholic??... well, that's how many of us learned to deal with it, we drank... non alcoholics don't, at least not alcoholically...

people resort to all sorts of "behaviours" to cope with unresolved issues. No they do not all drink. Some take drugs, smoke, eat too much, starve, obsessively clean, go to the gym every day ,work 24/7, destroy their relationships, are violent, are controlling, are passive, get depressed, obssess about trains, obssess about planes, have fetishes, have phobias, never leave the house etc etc etc
Why is drinking so different from other behaviours?
