Is it completely confidential or do they have to report something if you admit how much you have been drinking? What about an addiction specialist?

I don't know of any reason not to tell the Dr. about your use and they should know that sort of thing if they are going to prescribe any medication. Most meds don't take kindly to alcohol. Plus how is the Dr. supposed to help if they don't know all of the facts.

The decision is your of course and I will end with this parting thought - part of recovery is being completely honest, this might be a good time to start.
