If you want to do something about it...get your pipefitting, rigging or welding certs. Join the union and get on the nuke. That'll be one less intoxicated worker on the job. Until you do that , wipe your tears and go hug a tree.

Alcohol and drug abuse is a deeply challenging problem for many people. Coming to terms with the nature of the problem in one's life, and then accessing suitable treatment is a big challenge. It is important for the individual to acknowledge the unhelpful role that alcohol or drugs plays in their life in order for them to move forward. Professional help is strongly advised for anyone suffering from a dependency to drugs or alcohol. Addiction is normally a symptom of a different problem in ones life, rather than the problem itself. Through professional help addicts can explore the underlying issues and root causes, as well as deal with their dependency.anger management classes online

Go ask the FAA for their statistics on drug use. How many surgeons are high? Drugs are a human problem not a nuclear problem.

Hey, thanks! That explains my scars.

Holy shit! It's worse than we thought. The auto industry of the 70's and 80's was likely just a sneak preview then. We are so screwed!

Smithers: Thats Homer J. Simpson, Mister Burns.

"Far out, man!" - Thomas Chong

Is "one-eyeing" on the job a dead give-away?
Or is it an industrial-sized supply of lozenges?
Perhaps it's the odd person who forgets utensils for lunch & unthinkingly uses their coke-spoon instead. Why do so many appear to have incredibly short straws on their juice packs? "juice packs" ... hmmm.
Do they really find the odd "Hunter S. Thompson" in the Control Room?

Beer is possibly the least of problems though. Compared to our beer north of 49, that's practically Near Beer. Trailer Park Boys, meet Homer J. Simpson. D'OH!!!

From the number of heroin users, i wonder how many have OD'ed due to Phentanyl et al. Do they report the issue, or is the "issue" simply disposed of? ... and then there are the legal drugs. Aye carumba!
What of those surviving cancer that need Phentanyl, etc?

Here is a thought. How about mandatory drug testing, instead of random, hmm?

Exactly, and that is why humans and nuclear should never mix on the same planet. But thanks....I added that the Lie of Nuke with proper attribution.

No, they will tell you bald faced, no shame, how they just sent these "true believers" to counseling, and then they came back without increased inspection.
