I don't think you should take medical advice from an alcoholic.

It's unlikely that your uncle's life was ruined by ADHD medication.

I bet alcohol and other recreational drugs had more to do with it.

About that last sentence, drug use was probably a symptom and not the underlying cause. It seems more likely that he had some psychological issues that he didn't seek help for and tried to self-medicate with alcohol.
