I'm an alcoholic how do I translate this skill into becoming a dev? Serious question.

Holy shit there really is an XKCD for everything.

get hired as an entry level Q&A, drink with the devs when you break their shit.

they'll accept you eventually.

Maybe not as a dev, but those qualifications make you perfect for tech support. The support people where I work have their own beer fridge plus dedicated lockable containers for their liquor and no one would ever dare mess with that. And if you're good at support, there's a high chance you'll get promoted to the Product Owner role pretty fast!
