I think handle (ie manage) would be a better word. I had an uncle that was an alcoholic. He could 'hold' his alcohol, but the mere fact that the alcohol had control over him (addiction) meant that he couldn't handle it.

I still don't see how that changes it.

My father loved to drink, but that didn't mean it had control over him.  

Take for example after the wreck: if alcohol had control over him, he would have just drank non-stop to drown his sorrows, but he didn't.  Instead, he worked hard, was at the hospital when he wasn't working, would come home, work out (he has diabetes and everything that comes with that, so he works out daily to make sure he doesn't die), and didn't drink for a long time when I got out of the hospital, so he could manage his alcohol and it has no hod or control over him.  

Fred, once again, back up your words.  You said them, now own them.
