I don’t doubt its potential to lead to a full blown drinking disorder/addiction/problem. But I feel like certain populations are more pre-disposed, especially poorer demographics.
There should be a study that examines addiction in general and cross referencing with socioeconomic conditions of the area.
Areas hit hard by industries fleeing for cheaper labor force (ie, American steel industry and Appalachian region). Decrease in stability followed by decrease in upwards mobility being proportional to drug or alcohol addiction.

Through his sharp wit and astute observations, Carlin explores how language evolves to disguise the true nature of our experiences, particularly in times of war."

Meh, Carlin doesn't land the same way in my 30s that he did in my 20s. It changed from shell shock to battle fatigue to PTSD because you can get it without battle (IED) or being shelled by artillery. It lacks oomph but it's more correct imo.
