Just as long as drinking alcohol will impair speech, movement, speed, and fighting ability. Also, if one is clearly drunk, NPCs should respond to you differently like "Go away you lightweight!" or also talk back in drunk speech, if they're also hammered.
Also, drinking games. Gotta prove you have hair on your chest by showing off how much more of a nord you are to the rest of the native population. If there's a way to gain respect, it is by being able to drink with or better than the best drinking in all of Tamriel. The dunmer drinks will be worse than swill in comparison.
Oh, and "alcoholic" would never be used to describe a person, only drink to the nords.
