Would you date someone who has alcohol issues?

Highly unlikely. Addictions are unhealthy. Are they actively working towards reforming themselves? The road towards recovery would be rough. I would not engage in any intimate relationship with them until they've fully recovered. I've also seen some addicts relapse though. I wouldn't date a habitual drunk or a drug addict in the first place. They also tend to get violent and spend all their money on alcohol. Alcohol only provides temporary pleasure and is not viable long term.

My ex had severe depression along with a gaming addiction. Needless to say, the relationship was worse than hell.

If you are talking about yourself, you need to realize that the first step towards giving up alcohol is to realize that you have an addiction. You should not be in a relationship now. Think about all the unnecessary emotional trauma you would put the other person through. They'd be constantly worried about you and your well-being and you need to concentrate on YOURSELF and getting better.

I had a full blown opiate addiction and I still had a relationship.
That being said, it was a terrible fucking idea and she should have NEVER been with me...
So no... Run like hell...

"Alcohol issues?" Is that a nice way of saying they are a habitual drunk? The first step to recovery is admitting what you are and not trying to sugar coat it with newspeak.

Nope. I don't date addicts.
