I would not admit to being unfit for work due to a drink problem - best thing from what little I know is if you want to admit to anything which wont get you sacked then go into the boss and tell him you are suffering from stress.

Any attempt to them sack him/her for being drunk would appear to be an escape route from looking after someone suffering from stress.

and if they could prove a drink issue he/she could then come up with a defence that it was due to the stress.
