Buson has a few hokku about sake, but it does not seem he was a heavy drinker himself.
He captures the daily life situation around him very well.
There are also a few about sushi 鮓 .

酒十駄ゆりもて行や夏こだち
sake juuda yurimote yuku ya natsu kodachi
Ten horses carrying loads of sake,
Swinging, pass by a thicket
Of trees in full summer foliage.
Tr. Shoji Kumano

酒を煮る家の女房ちょとほれた
sake o niru uchi no nyooboo choto horeta
I fall in love again a bit
with my wife
who boils Sake for me
Tr. Gabi Greve
In the Edo period, sake for drinking was boiled in summer to prevent it from turning into vinegar. His wife took good care of the health of Buson, explains
- Uematsu Naotaka san -
Shinshu hi-ire 新酒火入 heating new rice wine
sake niru 酒煮る（せけにる）, sakeni 酒煮（さけに）
nizake煮酒（にざけ）
Rice wine prepared in winter is heated up to 60 degrees centigrade, to make it last during the hot summer. It is then filled in pine barrels and gives a pleasant smell to the sake brewery. After heating the rice wine is not called SHIN, new, any more, but KO, old 古酒.

鮓おしてしばし淋しきこころかな
. sushi oshite shibaraku sabishiki kokoro kana .
Pressing sushi;
After a while,
A feeling of loneliness.
Tr. Blyth
From whence does this feeling of loneliness come? It comes, and that is enough, whether it is by silent sympathy with the heavy stones pressing it down, or the suggestion of time passing, or the thought of the person for whom it is being prepared.
Comment by Blyth

故郷や酒はあしくと蕎麦の花
furusato ya sake wa ashiku to soba no hana
My hometown --
Though the sake is not good
Buckwheat flowers
Tr. Nelson/Saito
(1774)
帰去来酒はあしくとそばの華
kaeri nanisa sake wa ashiku to soba no hana
'Go Back To Your Home',
the sake is terrible and the
buckwheat's in flower.
As often is the case, Buson reworked a haiku theme by changing only part of it. The version with the allusion to Tao Yuanming's poem rings against the linein it that goes
'Go back to my old home?
Stop traveling; stop socializing with those who sing a different tune!'
Buson is someplace, maybe a bar, where he isn't comfortable and he's trying to talk himself into getting up and going home. This versions counts as 19. //The reference to the hometown in the second version is making a descriptive statement about either living or coming back to visit where he is from. I think the second version is better, anyone who has left their hometown but comes for a visit can understand the emotion Buson is expressing.
Your hometown is always a part of you and as you get older you realize the good and bad in both staying or leaving it.
