There are still tons of stories about Cutler's drinking, right up through this past season. I'm not sure how explicity the story has been told, but he was supposedly spotted getting his goose on by someone in the Denver media the night before one of their final home games (which they lost in the midst of choking away the division).
I'd imagine stories like that will start getting repeated a little more freely now that he's gone. The alcohol issue was already cited by a local Denver station as one of the reasons McDaniels didn't want him, and while that particular report on its own may not be the most credible thing ever written, it's just another big cloud of smoke surrounding the fire.
It's not just the drinking itself, but the fact that his diagnosis hasn't changed his behavior. That's no small item and it's one of the major factors you have to consider when discussing Cutler's worth.
Which is why it's kind of funny to see people spending 7-8 pages talking about Cutler's value and then going "Whaaa? I never heard he drinks".
