Jobs you can't go into Hungover

PTH2009 · 05-12-2019 1:04am #1

I imagine if ur a GP or surgeon/nurse you cant go into work hungover. Same as being an actor and a civil servant like a guard or fireman/firewomen. Anymore you think ??

Lots of jobs you could get away with it

I see.

What’s your question?

alcoholic beverage taster

You could go in hungover. I just wouldn't like to

mrmorgan · 05-12-2019 1:08am

I have heard of a lot of surgeons going in hungover, apparently, when they take off their mask there could be a stink of drink off them!!

Dangerous stuff

BDI · 05-12-2019 1:09am

Civil service and public service can go in any way they seem fit.

Stacksofwacks · 05-12-2019 1:12am

A job you shouldn't is construction but I have worked for a construction firm in OZ where often the gang of lads would stay out all night and go into work next day up on scaffolding. hairy days those were, but good pay

Alcoholism does not discriminate op. Your profession, trade or job will not stop you from doing it with a hangover.

Ah I'd say the Pope has a few piss ups in the Vatican with the lads

Yes OP you should have that other pint - you'll be sound in the morning

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts · 05-12-2019 1:50am

I worked in a quality control lab in a pharmaceutical company. There is no way you could do that job hungover. Too much manual precision required.

On what planet are actors never reporting for duty while under the influence.
I understood it was practically a requirement.

Seriously though. A trapeze artist wouldn't be advised to clock on with a hangover.

SuperS54 · 05-12-2019 8:04am

Being Taoiseach and going for a radio interview while hungover would probably be something you shouldn't do.

Brian? · 05-12-2019 8:15am

Is his how far Ireland has fallen? People can’t do their jobs hung over?

You don’t give in to hangovers, they’re the enemy. You turn up to work on time, absolutely dying and pretend everything is fine. Occasional toilet cries are allowed as long as no one sees you.

GPs are well paid. Well paid people can afford more alcohol than others. Many a GP does drink to excess on a regular basis.

Any job that involves driving or any job that involves driving to work for a start cos Shane Ross will be out to get you. .

Colleague flat shared with a doctor and is now in their social circle. Alcohol is the least of the stuff they're on.

Used to do it regularly as a pool lifeguard. Weekends were basically only staffed by part time college students and maybe 1/4 of us on any given rotation would be fit to save anyone from from drowning...

On a note of dark humour, one Sunday morning I went into work after a night out with about 2 hours sleep. Hadn't showered because figured I was getting in the water anyway. I was teaching a toddler swim class and when I lifted one girl to help her along she loudly tells me (in front of the parents dropping kids off) "You stink like my daddy!" I assume she meant drink but I suppose it was open to various interpretations.

I was more considerate from that point on.

Piss artists

Or actually maybe thats a requirement for the job?

enricoh · 05-12-2019 9:17am

Air traffic controller could be problematic !
Had a good few mates that were chefs over the years- I never envied them the next morning!

Actor? are you joking?

Pauliedragon · 05-12-2019 9:27am

I suppose it would be hypocritical of a cop doing roadside breath tests in the morning riddled with a hangover seeing as they're probably over the limit themselves. That would be a job no one should do.

In a hot kitchen you sweat it out of you fairly quickly. All the best chefs I have ever met were pissheads with substance abuse issues.

Have another drink before work. Everyone's a winner.

'You definitely couldn't be X and be hungover'

'You could, I know 5 X's that always work while dying'

And repeat

I’ve done all the jobs I’ve had hungover many of them hungover twice a week regularly. Some have involved driving and/or operating machinery and they all required driving to.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 05-12-2019 1:01pm

A chef/cook. If i'm hungover the smell of food usually makes me feel sicker, I couldn't imagine working in a kitchen and having to cook food when my head/stomach are sick.

I get a fierce hunger when hungover my issue would be not eating constantly if there was food in front of me!

Any front line healthcare professional, such as a Nurse or Health Care Assistant. You do not want to be dealing with any body fluids if you are struggling to deal with your own.

I couldn’t even deal with it without the hangover but I’ve a friend or two who I’d drink with who would have gone in sick as pigs particularly when it was working as care assistant part-time during college etc.

Lol. Cowen was still pissed as hell doing the interview. He might have stopped drinking hours before it but he was still feeling the effects.

Have never given Fianna Fail even a preference, but almost considered it because that interview was so much fun.

jiltloop · 05-12-2019 6:08pm

Definitely air traffic controller. I applied a few years ago and got down to interview stage (down to the last few dozen out of over 10,000 applicants).

The interview was on a Monday morning, I went on an almighty session that weekend and completely ****ed it up, probably for the best in the long run

I know somebody killed in a workplace accident by somebody operating heavy machinery whilst badly hungover and possibly still drunk. The deceased left behind two teenage children. The operator’s condition was deemed the cause rather than his skill in operating the machinery.

Jobs you can't go into Hungover
