Hi FOB and welcome to SR!
Regarding your employer...it depends so much on your employer. I used to work at a very progressive liberal law firm that was huge. I knew a girl who was an alcoholic, she was found passed out in a stairwell one day. At the time I learned that the firm had a pretty extensive policy to help people with addiction that would not harm their careers. I of course, did not have a problem so did not pursue it...lol.
Anyway, the point is, it depends. Might be a good idea to make some discreet inquiries as to what your companies policy is.
If being around drinking is part of your job and you will have problems with it, it might be a good idea to consider a career change.
Good luck
