    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 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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
