Drinking vs Flying

Is it a rumour that: Pilots drink so much because they are scared of flying, and fly so much because they love drinking?

Anyone who drinks and & flies is an idiot. Just one hit of CAT and it gets spilt all over that nice uniform...

Yeah most planes don't have cup holders, the van one's are a bit weak, but I've seen some new vans and they got some sweet sturdy cup holders that have potential

Speaking up for contract pilots I can state absolutely that I have no fear whatever of flying.

I am on the other hand scared sh*tless of crashing.
