Alcohol is technically a drug. He might have felt cornered and admitted to the lesser of 2 evils. Kinda like a plea bargain. The only way that he might admit a drug problem is if he’s assured that he’s not going to get into any trouble because of it. Meaning – if he admits it and get help for it, he won’t be going to jail. He is probably scared to admit to something like that.
