Comment on Does alcohol speed up evolution?

Of course!

You need to have evolutionary pressure to have directed evolution, and “alcoholism is a disadvantage” is as good as any. By drinking more, one reduces their and their kids’ chances to survive, making those alcoholic genes less frequent.

By the way, I hear propensity to alcoholism is also an inheritable trait.
