I guess you're not an alcoholic? That's information that potential employers would be glad to pay for. In the days of paper records, doctors would write "C2H4OH" on your record, as a semi-coded message to other doctors.
Estimates vary, but I understand that close to 25% of the UK population is alcohol-dependent to some degree. Deterring people from seeking treatment seems "unhelpful" from the POV of general social benefit.
