Many people. And anecdotally it helps many people for very long periods (40-60 years daily) of time to sleep like a rock. But I think there is a difference between 'a night cap before sleep' or plonking down a few glasses of Scotch in the evening. The side effects the article mentions are really not triggered, for casual drinkers anyway, by a little shot before sleep. Unless you were drinking before that (at dinner for instance), but that's not a fair comparison against what the 'myth' says.
