EC / EO in AA?

Just a thought. In EC and EO churches the contents of the chalice are pretty much half and half.

First at the proskomedia the wine is mixed with water, and then right before Holy Communion it is diluted once more when hot water is added, generally a substantial amount. As a subdeacon serving I saw it with my own eyes.

How strong does the ‘wine’ have to be to affect alcoholics?

I think the amount of water added varies widely from priest to priest. Ours is usually pretty strong, with the current pries, at least.
