Just to clarify a bit more, the question on the medical is more expansive than that. It's whether you had a conviction for anything related to alcohol or drugs
or had your driving privileges suspended
or had to go to an educational program. Only the pure "conviction" part deals with alcohol or drugs.
For example, if your got a plain vanilla speeding ticket but had to attend weekend classes as part of the deal, you'd have to report that.
