It's my belief that no one is 'on the job' 24/7/365. If your character likes to take a break on his/her off days with a pyramid of empty bottles, so be it.
That said, I don't think it'd matter what your class is if your toon is an alcoholic. If your character is an active member of the guild, (someone in the public eye) I would think there would always be some sort of reprimand if they were found sloshed in an alley.
My arcanist (more over doctor) drinks.. just not to excess (at meals).
Now, if you're playing a pirate that just happens to have some magic training picked up at this port or another... drink to your drunken content.
No, you completely misunderstood. My character is not into drinking to begin with, for the reasons I listed.
And I was asking if maybe that would be a reason to choose Gridania or Ul'dah instead.
Sorry for the misunderstanding!
Still, I don't think there would be any issue with an arcanist that is strictly non-alcoholic. Like Freelance mentioned, I wouldn't take the few examples in the story to be a majority rule. Pirates, sailors and booze go hand in hand, but the city is full of much more than just pirates and sailors.
