To play devil's advocate, I would ask - what if you could find an article that conclusively stated that SSRI's do cause some people to have increasted "cravigns" for alcohol? Would it change how you approach things? You already know that it seems to cause that in you, so you shouldn't need an article to tell you that, right?
The reason I ask is that I used to obsess about lots of things like this due to my health anxiety. And one of the ways i was able to help get over some of it is to ask myself if what i found actually helped or not. Most times it did not because I already knew the answer ;-)
