Dang, I've been a Ne'er-do-well too long. Many moons ago I worked in a costume warehouse. My co-worker on my floor drank so many tall buds he ran out of hiding places for the cans. We'd find them stuffed in coat sleeves, heating ducts, desks, unsued stairwells, laid in the bottom of boxes covered with merchandise to hide them, etc. I finally found so many I got "lawn and leaf" plastic bags and collected them-made some good scratch too. The guy in the shipping department would go around the building and demand "give me a quarter! When he got enough he'd go to the Greek dinner next door a get his tall bud (but he'd cash in his own cans.) Our boss was a genuine nut-job (taken out several times through the back door for "a rest.") His favorite antic was to get on the building wide P.A. (It was a block square, 4 story building in Long Island City, NY) and vociferously announce he was "going to fire all your fucking asses." Good for a chuckle the first few times. After a while it drove me to a few beers during the day. Later I worked on a Broadway show that was so bad that after the nightly show opened the crew would go to the pub next door for a few hours, the go back to the theater and fall down. Made for some interesting interaction with the cast. I think advertising is the best employment for alcohol consumption though. My ex work in an Ad Agency in NYC. All they did was go out after work and continue the drinking that started during the day. Oh yeah, they all screwed each other too.
