You have this wrong
When you stop drinking alcohol you are said to be ON the wagon.
Thus if you fall OFF the wagon it is taken to mean that you have started to drink alcohol again having one stopped.
The WAGON in the expression relates to the water wagon, which was a horse-drawn water car once used to spray dirt roads to keep down the dust. (So if you were on the wagon you must be drinking WATER).
