The test results are no more capable of revealing that you have a tendency to alcoholism than blood group typing (ABO).
But hey, if you're paranoid, don't do it.

You are assuming that no analysis will be performed on the samples other than the coarse grouping reported on the web site. If that's the case, then I agree, I don't see any danger in it. At least not until racial cleansing comes back into vogue, which is far enough away (in the First World) that it will be impossible to keep genomes secret that long anyhow.
But hey, if you're paranoid, don't do it.
If you're schizophrenic, study Dali. If you're a sniveling coward, wear a seatbelt. And if you don't want to discuss genetic privacy, then don't.
