Wow Lots of good feedback, Thanks

OK ANOTHER question! Regarding my first visit with the psychiatrist....

When they ask regarding my 'history'......
I'm a bit reserved when it comes to questions of what I've done or not done in my past. I'm afraid of getting a 'tag' put on me if I admit that I used to enjoy drinking beer (back in college...and in my 20's)...I come from a German community and beer is a very common thing.
And, excuse me for living , but I messed up once and got a DUI.
This is all way before my pain issue and I haven't drank in over 10 years, especially since I take all these meds.
And yes, excuse me for being human, I've tried marijuana.....Good Lord, I was born in the 60's......who HASN'T tried it!

Should I admit to these things? Will it make me look like a 'bad' person?

If I DON'T admit this, I'm sure they do background checks of some sort and I'm sure my DUI will show up. So this will make me look like an idiot if I deny these things if they're gonna probably find out anyway.

Part of me thinks it's not fair to be judged by what we've done in the past. But yet, I want to be completely honest so that I have the Dr's respect.

How is the best way to handle an issue such as this?
