    My team had a meet and greet session with a few people. Most of them were professionals but one of them appeared alcoholic and was wearing tanks. I am told he carried the stench of alcohol with him. Fortunately, I was busy elsewhere and could not make it to the meet and greet session. Am I biased or do other people here feel the same way about alcoholics?

      The majority of alcoholics did not set out to make that their goal in life. Any alcoholic that is trying to get back onto the straight and narrow deserves help and encouragement: somewhat like some of the posters of questions on CP.

        Attending meetings scruffily dressed and smelling of alcohol does not necessarily indicate alcoholism! :looks skyward: :whistles: :)

          How can you tell if someone is alcoholic from their appearance?

          Alcoholics need encouragement to get better rather than biased and uneducated and unproductive comments. Don't get me wrong, drinking or being drunk in the workplace is wrong.

            You should not mock the afflicted. I suspect that you are quite young, based purely on way that you attribute alcoholism to someone from a, reported only, smell of alcohol and his visual appearance. Am I biased or do other people here feel that the young jump to conclusions far too rapidly and with little evidence?

                  It is a medically known fact. "...the part of the brain young people need the most to develop good judgment and decision-making develops last" http://www.choicesaz.org/resources/brain_development/[^] I guess one could argue that in some, it never develops. :(
