Just from what you said it sounds like you don't KNOW anything. You better damn well KNOW the accusations you are leveling are true and factual before you go running to HR, or this may not work out for you the way you believe it will.

I worked with a guy once that used to plow through at least six drinks at lunch. It was an ad agency and they didn’t really frown on that stuff too much. He didn’t drive and took bus/trolly to work, so no danger there.

They’ll eventually frick up enough that they get dismissed and end up going through a new job every 18 months or so.

If they’re a dick and not a danger to anyone, let them hang themselves. If they are nice or might put someone in danger, tell them that what they’re doing is noticeable and it’s obvious. Someone will catch on soon enough and they’ll be dealing with HR. End of the day, if they’re an alcoholic, you aren’t going to change their behavior, they need to get in deep enough that they do it for themselves.

Unless you're his direct boss or you own the company, I wouldn't say shite and mind my own business. Let this be someone else's problem.

Sure. You’ll be brought into the matter though as you reported it. You also better hope to God you’re correct, and everyone else around the office will be leery of you.

Confront him?


Again, you better hope to God your suspicions are correct. Also, what do you think he’s going to do, admit it? Congrats, you just now made an office enemy. He’ll also try and frick you over in anyway possible.

Then what are you reporting him about? Sounds like you are looking for an excuse and just don’t like the guy.

Threaten to turn him in unless he sucks your penis.









Or keep your mouth shut. If the dude ain’t operating heavy equipment who gives a frick?

If he's drinking at work, he's driving too, so that's a no dawg. Turn him in.

Could it be a medical condition? Diabetics can have an odor that smells like alcohol…

Yes they do in DKA but no one is just going to work and functioning everyday in that extreme state. It’s fatal if not treated
