[quote=Anonymous]I started avoiding alcohol early in my work career because of the drunks I worked with and the problems they caused. Alcoholics hate people who don't drink like they do. I worked for a two different defense contractors when I moved here and the drinking was off the chain in both. There was so much social pressure to get drunk that I avoided many events. It was not a safe environment for a young 20 yo female. It wasn't uncommon to see upper mgmt completely sh*t faced at work.  Every social event involved excessive drinking and no one thought for a second about driving after. I was certain several of the guys who worked in my area were alcoholics and am amazed none of them ever got a dui. As I've gotten older, more of these people have admitted their alcoholism and apologized. In every case, they caused problems at work although several were popular and well liked. One guy, who admitted he is an alcoholic, has completely wrecked a favorite past time of mine.He has chased off most volunteers and is constantly bullying women who participate. The sexual harassment was brutal in these environments.
