I'm dishonest with my psychiatrist about my alcohol use. I drink 1 or 2 beers most nights, but I told him I drink 1-3 beers a week. And he was super concerned about even THAT level of drinking and now assumes I am the drug abuser type and is super leery about prescribing me controlled substances. I don't feel that my drinking is out of control. I don't drink to get drunk, I've just always liked the taste. If your therapist isn't an idiot like mine they probably won't overreact and everyone is right that you won't get sent to the hospital for drinking and pot.
