I didn't say he ONLY drinks when he is in over his head. He could have just as easily fallen off the ladder without alcohol. He has just resorted to that since hes been here, and frankly I don't blame him. Its like Sawyer and cigarettes, after he shot the marshall he tried to light one, and right after the plane crash. He was working as a set designer for the Royal Shakspere Company. If he was always wasted he probably wouldn't be working there.
