Not going to get into drug use, but the questionnaire in both cases should really ask if you have abused alcohol. Does giving your kid a taste of wine or beer at 11 constitute alcohol use. In several Jewish religious ceremonies, the passing of a cup of wine and taking a sip is very common. Are you supposed to answer yes to that? Of course, what is abuse? Is having 3 cans of beer abuse or is passing out drunk an abuse. I guess at that point, its too subjective. However, having one beer isn't abusive.
