If anything it means I'm a lightweight now, not that I have a drinking problem. The whole process is really handled poorly in my humble opinion. Get a form email and then no info for two weeks. Not very professional.
Why handled poorly? Something flag you and now you have to wait for the decision. It can or can’t be the alcohol question. Maybe the way you answer or your body language or something else. Maybe they’ll look if you had a DUI or if something else in your record. Maybe they’ll review your panel questions and be “get this person, it fit us” or “hey, we are going to pass on it”.
It doesn’t mean won’t get hired and it doesn’t mean that you have to get daily/weekly emails/phone calls for your desperation.
Once the process is done, you’ll get the answer they have for you. After that you either will be in the pool waiting or rejected.
