Yes I believe I can, in bygone ages lords ladies and gentry alike had the means to drink alcohol, while poorer people drank cheap ale of much lower alcoholic content.

Not to say poorer people never got drunk but back then more refined alcohol was considered a finer thing, wine and strong drink would have been expensive.

To be as drunk as a lord would have been considered a lordly thing as the peasants only got drunk on ale, not something a lord would even consider drinking.
