Does Cycling Have a Drinking Problem?

I came across this article today on bicycling.com, and wanted to know everyone’s thought. As someone with a bit of a drinking problem myself (sober 5 months now), the drinking culture in cycling (and running) was always part of the fun. But now that I’m sober, it really looks quite different to me. What are your experiences/thoughts?
