You know, I can't really see canon John as ever being a drunk around his kids. He's too disciplined and military, which is the way he copes with raising them alone in a world full of nasties. He's very responsible, though to "normal" people it would seem it's often in the wrong ways.
I think of John as incredibly emotionally repressed, and therefore, I'd buy it if he did go on a rare bender weekend alone, once the boys were grown, but telling them he was hunting. They can figure it out though, hence Sam's comment.
Not that John was teetotal, I'm sure he and Bobby might have shared a few glasses on quiet nights. Maybe if John had found the YED and killed it, then he might have become lost without that goal..? Anyway, I enjoy all sorts of corruption of canon in fic, so.... wait! What are you doing having gen bunnies??
