Wine-drinking on TV

Just finished rewatching Game of Thrones. Struck by the lakes and lakes of wine (Cersei and Tyrion definitely alcoholics.) Now watching Apples Never Fall. More wine, at every opportunity.
It seems as if every time a TV character gets home from work, she (usually a she,) pours herself a bucket of sauv blanc.
I’ve been sober for over a year and maybe this is why I’m noticing it more.
Is this normalising alcohol abuse or am I overreacting?
