DSM-IV and DSM-V defines exactly how psychologists, psychiatrists and medical professionals diagnose alcoholism. It’s pretty cut and dry.

Pfft.... who ef’n cares. They have absolutely ZERO authority over us.
What exactly do they think the answer is going to be when they walk into a bar in CGN and ask.... “so do you see American pilots who work for UPS come in here and drink?”

As long as you stay away from their founder's day cake, you should be fine.

IMHO, you’d better re-think your stance of zero authority.
Air side answers to SDF who in turn answers to ATL.
Ground side answers to ATL.
Crossing a ground side manager will get you a quicker trip to ATL.
I have seen a FQM (not a FQS)disagree with a ground side manager and the ground side wins. YMMV

Well, G550 is a true gentleman, he said that out ehhhhh. Bottom line, drink appropriately, be respectful and considerate towards your colleagues and peers, ENJOY life with these two simple attributes, life is too short to be so paranoid as some have become. My previous employer was VERY MUCH in the same modus operandi as Brown (G550 will attest), having furloughed 495 folks, and having recently fired a 20+ year Captain out of spite, ruthless and heartless, long story but said Captain lost his life post termination due to this event. Even with this type of employer, for 99% of folks, you did your job, was respectful and considerate, didn’t push the envelope, and you flew under the radar.
