I had to take a cdl physical for the school I’m attending. Long story short when it came to boxes asking about alcohol and tobacco I checked yes. They make you elaborate and then when the doctor was giving me my physical she asked me questions about my drinking and smoking. She then wrote on my form that I am a drinker 2-3 drinks and deny drinking at workplace, and that I’m a tobacco user but deny shortness of breath. My question is this for the school only or will any employer be able to see all that information, and if so is that going to look bad or affect job placement negatively. Like more safety sensitive positions or insurance purposes. I know sometimes honesty isn’t the best option, but it’s too late and written in bold letters on my physical. Does this matter? And will it be available to employers and or matter to them? And if i do another physical will the past ones information be out the window?
Looking for answer

Thing about medical notation. If you answer no to any question, the notes will always say “denied” what ever the question is. It is the way things are documented, don’t worry about that.Boondock and Sirscrapntruckalot Thank this. -
