No. Alcoholism can certainly destroy brain tissue and cause a practitioner to present with dimentia or other psychological or neurological symptoms. But Alzheimer's disease has no causal connection with alcoholism.

On the other hand, there is extensive scientific medical evidence that the regular and moderate consumption of alcohol reduces the risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
