Houellebecq rights but is known as materialist horror, so I kind of think that's what you're looking for - if not, why not write it yourself?

Every day that goes by I grow more convinced that alcohol is evil. It makes you sick and unhealthy, makes you do stupid and embarrassing things, dims your brain. Fuck drinkers.

This. Just follow a few people and look at their stories, quite a depressing experience seeing how dull and empty everything is and the only thing keeping it alive is attention craving.

Sure I'd agree with that, but very very few people stop at one drink after dinner. And even if it was just a cup of wine or a bit of whiskey after dinner, doing that every day is still bad.

Alcohol is merely a catalyst for people's true natures. It makes good writers become better writers, and turns inwardly horrible people into outwardly horrible cunts.
I drink maybe 8-10 units a month. The key is to enjoy the buzz, not become consumed by it.

Truth be told, you need to avoid alcohol because you sound fraught with negativity. Alcohol will just amplify your inner-self.

O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been
Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth,
Tasting of Flora and the country green,
Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth!
O for a beaker full of the warm South,
Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene,
With beaded bubbles winking at the brim,
And purple-stained mouth;
That I might drink, and leave the world unseen,
And with thee fade away into the forest dim
