I agree that it's a problem, but your distinction still seems generally pointless. If you have a company policy to not hire alcoholics and you reject 1,000 people based upon this metric then 65% would have been an alcoholic.

It is a problem for the 350 non-alcoholics who are unable to get a job because the hiring manager doesn't understand statistics.
