Disability is judged on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, an alcoholic might quality for SSI. There is a movement to get this changed so that it would only pay for treatment, an idea with which this writer agrees.

Is a knee replacement considered a disability?
You can go to the tag agency and fill out some forms, in return they can give you a TEMERARY disablity parking tag. A knee replacement would be somthing that would "disable" your range of movement, but because it is not permanent, you would not be accepted by society or by societies standards as a disabled person. However, you can manipulate society into accepting you as a a person with a disability if you take on the "disability" role. There is no way to explain what this role invovles, because it is different for each person, but you can use it if society accepts it.

If you need to go on short-term disability to treat alcoholism does your employer need to know that this is the reason?
I doubt it - HIPAA privacy and all. No. Your short term disability insurance company will determine if it is a covered event. All your employer needs to know is that it is a qualifying event. A good HR department would never ask and would not want to know why. There exposure to privacy law violations would be way to high.

Alcoholism has been a pandemic in history due to how most people didn't know how to control intake of the substance.

Does the Catholic Church consider alcoholism a sin such as adultery?
Yes, and no. The Catholic Church considers alcoholism as in drinking to excessive over a period of time a serious sin. Alcoholism, the condition where the body has become acclimated to a large consumption of alcohol would no longer be considered a serious sin, in and of itself, but the drinking that got you to that point would be considered a serious sin. To be considered a serious sin, free will must be involved, and a free decision. When you get to the point where there is little free will involved and little to no decision then you are looking at other sins perhaps, but no longer the original serious sin of just drinking to excess. Which is not to say that no sin is involved.
