Good question. Under the ADA Americans With Disabilities Act), alcoholism is covered as a disease, but the behavior of Alcoholism isn't protected under the provision. So, if you have debilitating effects from past alcoholism, you may be eligible; however, if you can't work due to a continued behavioral abuse of alcohol, then my guess is you wouldn't be eligible. I'd suggest contacting your local Social Security office.

To complicate the matter, the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hold that alcoholism is a disease and many physicians reject the disease theory of the condition.
