just cause they don’t allow it doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Unlike mj, which is fat soluble and stays in the bloodstream for ages, alcohol is water soluble and is gone very quickly.
Though probably not quickly enough if they find you passed out on your desk.
Good thing that companies began actually trying to salvage alcoholic employees instead of giving them the boot.
Some of these don’t apply when alcohol on the job means your drunken spouse shows up with a loaded .45, though. That does a number on job satisfaction.
