Must I claim to be completely alcohol free, to reinstate my MI license?
in 2001, I was convicted of my 3rd
impared charge. The first 2 were
each about 5-6 years apart. My MI
license has been suspended since
'01. I'd now like to apply for
reinstatement. If I admit to
enjoying a glass of wine with dinner,
will I shoot down my chances of
getting my license back?

You must testify under oath that you have been abstinent from alcohol for at least one year - no exceptions. That's the minimum.
Be cause you're a 3d timer, the presumption is that you are an alcoholic. You either must rebut this presumption completely or prove to the examiner that you have taken effective steps to deal with your alcoholism.
Your post suggests that you just don't get it.

absolutely, you have to maintain many years of complete sobriety to attempt a license restoration. Contact my office for more details. Tim Klisz
