I don’t even know how this is possible…
I got alcoholism and then realized that it reduced all my stats a great deal, and that it would take forever to wait for it to go away (because the hair of the dog potion didn’t work at all)… and then I thought, “oh well, it’s only been around an hour since my last save…” so I reloaded from a prior save.
Well, the alcoholism went away, but I still had the debuff on all my stats!?!?! WTF?
Long story short… it affected all my saves… all the way back… I don’t even know how that is possible.
So… I just loaded up my most recent save, and waited for a week or so for it to go away.
I’m not drinking alcohol in the game again… that’s a silly thing to happen.
