So I went in for a class A exam. My first and passed everything but was deferred for acknowledging that I had a drinking problem 2.7 years ago. The AME was a nice man and actually had to call the FAA and the lady said it needed to be deferred as he wasn't sure. I just am wondering what this means from anyone who has had this experience and how it would relate to getting into a flight school. I have posted before but felt I guess I should start a new thread

Thanks for any help or advice on this in advance.

Hurry up and wait I suppose. I'm used to the government processes.
