Is it illegal for an alcoholic to say he does not drink? |
like on health insurance applications If the alcoholic is in recovery, then no, it's not 'illegal' to say s/he does not drink ... but since there are many health issues that come with alcoholism that could make a difference in the insurance payments, it must be stated somewhere that the person IS an alcoholic, so those things can be considered. In other cases, if the alcoholic has been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and has had no alcohol, the 'line' is much thinner ... it's 'illegal' not to admit to being an alcoholic, but this person hasn't been drinking (or using drugs) and that person could then 'admit' to being a user 'in recovery' but not admit to having had the substance they were arrested for using ... so it would be perfectly legal to say that s/he does not drink any longer ... or simply does not drink, since that sentence is in the present tense and no past tense should be applied. Well, it depends. If he lies on the application, then technically he may be voiding whatever contract he makes with the insurance agency. That means that even if he pays for months or years worth of premiums, the insurer would be within its rights to deny his claims when they find out that he drinks. It's in his own interests to answer the questions honestly. Illegal, no. He will not get arrested for it. He could be denied coverage if it was later found out that he does still drink. it is not illegal, I always lie. I smoke and Drink. I always say no. Why should I tell them something they will use against me. I know lots of alcoholics that don't drink and haven't for years. No, but he may be denied coverage when he tries to make a claim. Yes. |
