I booze all day when I booze. I'm functional. Im only at work for about 4-5 on average, unless there's a lot going on (i.e. When we got audited a few months ago), so I drink a **** ton before I leave, and start as soon as I get back.
Probably won't be able to do that with the scotch. Tho I was a sloppy drunk when I first got out, doing great work at Northrop Grumman as a defense contractor. Hell, a lot of us were boozing on the job. It really wasn't a secret with our leads, either. They were probably boozing, too. A bunch of ex-military drunks. Even in the Army, when we were stateside, we boozed all evening and woke up at 6:30 and rolled into PT. Drank a little after PT and rolled into work. Everyone was drinking during that time. Our wives hated it, to say the least.
