This thread made me wonder, if I worked for them, if they'd be willing to do the same for me?

If this is a consideration for any employee who has objections to alcohol then I guess that's ok, if not then it's outrageous.
The place I work for has special exceptions and such for alcoholism and addiction. They get more sick leave and such for falling off the wagon as long as they admit they have a problem and actively seek help and treatment. I don't think there's any official rules for the example you mentioned but it would be down to the management team to hear your concerns and act on them. Probably wouldn't be a big deal to put you on a section you were comfortable with in that case.
