Gardening, running and crochet are pretty alcohol-free, true... but painting? Have you met artists? Splashing bits of colour onto a canvas is mostly a bit of a distraction from the herculean drinking sessions.
Shooting? Hang gliding? Furniture restoring? These (and a twat-load of other hobbies) all belong in the final third, do they? Or is it that you've just not thought this through? Your opinion has as much validity as if you'd written 'careers' instead of 'hobbies'. Utter arse!
I think what they're (probably, I dunno tbh) getting at is that lots of hobbies have a social aspect, which ultimately manifests itself in drinking. Like, in your example, there's presumably a clubhouse for after the shooting. This theory kind of breaks down with furniture repair though tbh.
