I'd say it's the overall picture of his introduction. He's had enough drinks to slur his speech and movement. He is completely negative and displeased with every fight he saw while at the bar. He has a ragged-veteran appearance (stubble on the chin, torn up cloak). We know he's had a rough time with his group: Summer is dead. Raven up and abandoned her family.

Put them together for a character's debut appearance, and it spells he isn't the most cheerful of individuals. Now yes, it doesn't 100% mean he's got a drinking habit, but it can certainly lead one to believe so.
