I write (as a hobby, but I do have a few published short stories). I rarely drink alcohol, and never for the purpose of writing easier.
What does work for me is putting myself in an environment where there's nothing much else to do but write, or conducive to writing, or around others doing the same thing (like for National Novel Writing Month).
Also in my local writing group of 40-ish people I'm not aware of anyone that drinks to write. Even when we have social events with alcohol I haven't noticed anyone drinking a whole lot.
