Ten+ years ago I would have had a lot more sympathy, a lot more. I grew up in a different era.
But the memo's been out now for a long time. Anybody who drinks more than a few or inside 8 hours really should know they need to call HIMS...before they get caught.
Just because you're addicted doesn't mean you're stupid. Smart enough to fly a jet? Smart enough to read all those emails and memos. Getting help is easy, you just have to decide to do it.
