Its a common belief that people who sing also drink. Drinking makes them melodious

But that is excessive consumption. I don't know, but I've a feeling that all legends like Mehdi Hasan, Jagjit Singh, Kishor Kumar all used to consume wine. Anop Jalota and Pankaj Udhas are sure shot bevRas. I even heard from my cousin that Abida Parveen also drinks.

“At times there were 20 of us cramped in a room with 10 bottles of wine. You could make as much noise as you wanted and so we sang songs. That’s how I learned a lot of the region’s folk songs and music.”

I heard marhoom used to be behosh at the end of concerts.
Keeping the religious grounds aside, I don't think that poets and singers in Pakistan consider it a taboo to drink. Reading Kishwar Naheed's book Ruswaiyan Shanasaiyan, in which she mentions that every evening, at Sufi Tabassum's home, they used to serve cold / chill wine to guests and guests included famous poets and singers. She mentions that while celebrating Faiz Saheb's birthday once arrangement were handed over to her. Different people came to ask for contribution for the event and one of the contribution that she asked from some one was 'aaj shaam ki sharab ka kharcha aap ke zimme'.

Re: Sharaab aur Raag
More than a common belief, it's a common practice that most artists either drink some alcohol or take drugs to combat stage fright - it supposedly helps calm their nerves and control anxiety levels.
