Definitely not true!!! Drain hot water heater and then either use compressed air or RV antifreeze methods if you are winterizing. If you look at your water lines, you can see many dips in the lines, these will hold water which can freeze and gravity draining will not address them. You also need to drain low-point drains (there should be three - hot, cold and fresh water tank) since neither air nor antifreeze will displace water in dead-ends. If you have washer plumbing and do not have a washer, they are also dead ends which must be opened or drained. If you have a washer, it should be winterized as well.
