One more thing. If it does come up make sure you have a good narrative to take responsibility for it and show how you grew from the experience. People make mistakes and occasdional bad judgements. You aren't too stupid because you at least went out with friends you know would take care of you. Have a good plan to say how you've reduced drinking, make smarter plans before you go out and are generally a better person now. A board will want to hear this and although a meps doctor is making a medical decision he will probably be less concerned if you can convey this was clearly a 1-off and not a chronic problem. 

I'm not even sure your board would know even if your meps doctor knew. The few interviews I did to boards in the AF, I was told by the medical team they could not share details to the hiring officer due to HIPPA, they could only make a recommendation. 

 

Thank you! Makes me feel a lot better. I’ll be preppared.
