In fact, Lesnik never referred to anything involving alcohol. Instead, he told the judge that he was a “workaholic.”
At least one paper ran with the incorrect story:

A news service story on Dec. 9 incorrectly stated that Abraham Lesnik admitted during a sentencing hearing that he had a drinking problem when he took classified documents from Boeing‘s El Segundo plant. Lesnik had actually told the judge that he was a “workaholic.” Link
