Having a drink after work is acceptable, if not encouraged. Having a drink in the middle of the day is less acceptable, but warranted occasionally. Getting absolutely-freakin’-smashed during the day? Not so much.
First, let’s clarify absolutely-freakin’-smashed. We’re talking sleeping in the alley, doing karaoke, sleeping with Oprah drunk here. Like BAC (that’s blood alcohol content for those of you who didn’t pay attention during field sobriety) .264 drunk. As a point of reference, the legal limit in most states is 0.08. Yeah, we’re talking more than THREE times the legal limit hammered. Leave it to the Post Office.
Someone was so fed up with waiting for the new Twilight book to be delivered that they called the Police. When the Police arrived they found the mail man passed out over his steering wheel. During questioning the man informed them he drank wine all night. He wasn’t comfortable with the smell of alcohol on his breath so he chugged half a bottle of mouthwash to cover the smell. That stuff has alcohol in it buddy, read the label! Mouthwash qualifies as the one time it’s acceptable (even encouraged) to spit and not swallow.
