Anybody here go to work drunk?

Being drunk feels nice so I would assume it would make work better.

lot of guys work office jobs half in the bag.

It's hard to maintain the drunkness while there. That's the biggest problem. Then you get semi-hungover, start feeling tired, and work dragggsssss. Could go either way.

Is there really a difference between coming to work with 4-5 beers in you,
vs. coming to work with 2 large coffees in you.

Same thing in my book.

[fiveteamer]

Slicker that is a very good point.

[Bostongambler]

I never got pulled over for having coffee on my breath.

I am an alcoholic (now in recovery) who has much experience with going to work on various substances including alcohol.

This sounds authentic to my experience:

Mudcat do you live near Queen and Bathurst?

[louisvillekid]

when i was an alcoholic i did, i was what you could call a functioning alcoholic. But for the most part i was usually just hung over, and probably still had alcohol in my system, even after sleeping. I usually just got slammed as soon as i got off work.
working physical labor jobs in the heat don't mix with drinking.

I stopped working for other people because I can't go to work sober. They get pissed off, I get pissed off, it's just a bad scene. So now I am both the boss and the employee, and everybody's drunk all the time. It's proved to be an excellent solution for me.

Mudcat do you live near Queen and Bathurst?

Not particularly. Like I'm not a million miles away but I wouldn't want to ride my bike there.

This brings up an interesting point which I wasn't thinking of earlier. I discovered towards the end of my drinking - when a situation arose where an employer forced me to take a breathalyzer - that I actually was legally impaired every day.

Meaning I had had a full night's sleep and hadn't drunk anything before I took this breathalyzer - but I still registered as impaired.

I was responding earlier only about actually taking drinks and going to work. But the fact was I was basically going to work drunk every single day for years.

Anyone remember the psa that was one wpix channel 11 about coke. It basically was, " I do coke to work longer hours.". The guy kept on repeating himself as it was an endless cycle. This was about 84ish.
