Were you actually convicted or did you plea out to any specific charge? If there was a plea or a conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance as to you the answer to your question is that you do not have to tell anyone about what happened that is not in the Navy.
However, as to the obligation of having to advise your commanding officer as to any conviction or guilty plea as to the subject that you are writing about is best answered in what is stated in the Navy's Handbook and regulation. I suggest that you carefully read your military handbook on the subject that you are writing about.
Good luck.
