Alcohol as a product is a generally designated as a path to escapism, a way of not having to face reality and all the ugliness of the real (actual) world. As mush as this may be true i can also see it as a way to help us to gain a greater insight into our own mind and predilections. It allows us to focus, without external demands, on what we really believe ourselves to be and allows us to view our real selves without having to battle our own internal intellect.
Gurdjieff would drink, so i believe, to be more readily able to isolate his ego from his I and to be able to focus on his physical, emotional or feelings aspect.
Though abuse of alcohol that can easily lead to one losing control over their intellect which is important in the balancing of feelings, emotions and the physical self.
