Did you read the link you posted? Here’s a direct quote from the section discussing the factors contributing to the prevalence of alcoholism is Native American communities:
“The overall economic disadvantage of Native Americans, characterized by poor education, poverty, and limited resources, likely contributes to the prevalent abuse of alcohol among this ethnic group.”

Do you have source which lists UBI as another factor?
