Firstly, nothing in Mormon theology prohibits the use of Viagra or related products. This is a non-issue.
Alcoholic means that you're addicted to alcohol. There's nothing wrong with being tempted, but you must learn to control your urges. The Word of Wisdom prohibits drinking alcohol, and you must live the Word of Wisdom to be baptized and remain in good standing within the Church.
Being homosexual means you are attracted to members of the same sex. Being tempted is not a sin, but you must learn to control your urges. Sexual acts of a homosexual nature will affect your standing within the Church. As a homosexual, you will be disqualified from certain positions (scout master, etc). You may still receive the Priesthood and receive your endowment.

If you are not one currently then you would have to quit drinking. You would also have to abstain from sexual activity as well. As for the Viagra, nothing wrong with that. :)

If you are LDS then you have to know some change is needed to remain that way.

If you are willing to repent of your sins, (including those) and be baptized, yes you can.

Only if you were baptised prior to being an alcoholic and homosexual and that you don't tell anyone about it - that way you could stay a member wihout being excommunicated.

I don't know anything about the Mormon Faith but it seems to me you can believe in whatever you want to believe in while simultaneously being whatever it is you are.
So, from my naive & ignorant perspective, I think my answer is 'yes.'

I'm guessing you're not a mormon.

Probably not.

Of course! If you have the desire to change and abstain from homosexuality! You can be baptized with true faith. And of course your local bishop will help you with any problems you encounter with homosexuality. Just pray!!!

I'm thinking this guy is pulling our leg, but if not, good luck on getting him to stop drinking and stop practicing homosexual activities. These are addictions and they don't go away. +++

The addiction may not go away, but that does not mean that they can't stop the behavior. Lot's of alcoholics do give up alcohol and there is no reason why someone can't give up the homosexual activity. Getting rid the the same sex attraction and the urge to drink may be more difficult, but the behavior can be ended and that is all that is required.
