I see this more as that person having a problem with not drinking.

Not being able to have fun without alcohol can vary between people who claim that they need the alc to have fun. Of course there will be many of these people who are hopeless alcoholics, but there are also several different kinds of drinkers who hold the same opinion without having the "disease" of alcoholicism...or just don't know what they are really saying because they're hammered already. It really depends on how they define fun in the long run.
