Probably not. Grant did get drunk on occasion when he was a young man, stationed in California far away from his family. After the Civil War began and he resumed his military career he drank very little if at all.

Did Ulysses S. Grant believed in using the North's great advantage in troops and material resources to overwhelm the south?
True
What battle event damaged Ulysses S. Grants rising military reputation?
The first day of the 2-day Battle of Shiloh (April 1862), when his army was nearly pushed into the Tennessee River. Grant himself was absent from the battlefield, accused by his enemies of being drunk, but in fact recuperating from a riding accident, and walking on crutches. However, it is true that he and Sherman had both declared that there were no enemy troops nearer than Corinth, and so the Union army was taken by surprise. Still, the second day of the battle brought an important Union victory, with the Southern commander (Sidney Johnston) killed in action, and it was the beginning of the end for Confederate hopes in the Western theatre.

Who was a victorious Union general for the civil War?
There were a few victorious Union generals in the Civil War but most people would name Ulysses S. Grant first. It is true that Grant was the leader of all the armies of the north but Phillip Sheridan and William T. Sherman were just as important if not more so. Since Grant was in charge most of the praise goes to him, but he could not have done it without all the hard work of Sheridan and Sherman!
