Well, for the first point, there's no real evidence that they actually drink before the battles. It's a stereotype that nords are drunks, which might not be the case, just like it's wrong to stereotype imperials as teetotallers. That's some bias man, although we could infer by induction it has a high chance to happen, it does not mean it will happen.

Second point, I can agree with you. The Stormcloaks would be alone. They would be in deep shit for the first few years.

Third point, just a thing to consider - the trigger factor is not always the most important factor in causing any historical event to happen. Well, Ulfric killing Torygg was the trigger factor, but was it the most important factor?

Last point, it has already turned the teamwork into hatred. Even if Ulfric was killed, religious war never stops. A sad truth.
