Until its legal here which it isn't we will have to wait on those guys.
We have a few drinkers. they are just responsible enough to take their job seriously. However call them any night but the week they are "on call" and they will have already had too many to be of any help to you.
It's legal on the State level here, only for the tax money.. The problem I have is they're pretty useless when they smoke before work and/or after... Maybe if they had a task to clean up around the shop like sweeping, wiping toilets etc.. Or pulling weeds or cutting grass.. Nothing that actually requires using a brain...
On the job I prefer to work alone if I had the choice to hire people with substance abuse problems...
We had a carpet installer who was good at installing by himself, where he'd do a whole house with furniture rip out and replace in a day.. On time to the job, most times he was early to the jobs... The catch, you couldn't talk to him after 3pm, you couldn't understand a word he said... He'd drink a case everyday.. So the difficulty was telling him where to be if it was past 3pm..
