I'm not accusing anybody involved at Wacker or the contractors of being drunk, but if turning a bolt wrong kills one and injures four then you can imagine drinking at work is not exactly a great idea.
It's just as dangerous on foot as it is for drivers, even grocery clerks can get crushed under pallets of boxes weighing hundreds of lbs minimum, there should be no tolerance for it.

Aha yes, Teaching.
I was about to say I’ve encountered a few individuals during school consults. Elementary even.

Explain to a fellow European why jury duty is so universally hated in the United States of America. I always pictured it as an exciting opportunity with a certain responsibility.
Well, it is never a convenient time. You wind up missing a day of work and they give ( at least in my state) the potential juror $20 for your trouble. I never get picked and have a hard time staying awake throughout the day.
There is definitely a great responsibility involved and I answer the questioning truthfully so I have never get selected by both the prosecution and the defense.

A single shot seems more like a habit than functional alcoholism
Drinking alcohol habitually is called alcoholism. Any time the consumption of alcohol is a fixed part of your day, you are already over the line. A beer with every dinner? Shots with friends/coworkers after work every day? That's alcoholism.

Musicians, comedians. Any job where you have to be socially / performatively "on".
Watch old Robin Williams stand-up. He actually goes back stage mid-show to do rails of coke.

Yeah, usually by the time you're in the morning drinking (and not on vacation or something lol).
You're also in the physical withdrawal symptoms, which can kill people or fuck up their brains

Yep. That’s a difficult nuance for people to grasp. Alcoholism isn’t really about the amount, it’s about your relationship to its use.
If you drink 7 beers on a random friday night, but nothing the rest of the week, you’re probably fine. But if you drink a beer with your breakfast so you can face the day, that’s clearly not a good place to be. Same amount of alcohol, but a different relationship to its use.
Basically, anytime you feel like you ‘need a drink to do X’ with any regularity, it’s time to talk to your doctor about alcohol use.

Yeah, I lived like this for maybe thirty years, in between being a junkie. Gave up pretty much all my indulgences the past couple of years because I'm just too old for that shit and the health debt is coming due. I still smoke weed and take the occasional valium. My addictions saw me through a lot of rough patches, and being mostly sober is hard work - but booze and drugs is not a great way to deal with your problems.
Edit - closer to forty years actually. Oops.
Keep up the good work
