You Can Stop Drinking Now

Max gets different questions, some that he has decided we will list and he will respond to, because some of these questions are more non-standard, and he feels you need the answers:

 1.  Can you be an alcoholic on beer?

Max:  Absolutely, it really doesn’t matter which drink it is - beer, wine, liquor, anything with an alcohol content that you can’t stop using, you can or have become addicted to.

 2.  Can I get a job if I’m an alcoholic?

Max:  There are some very high functioning alcoholics that can get through the day, successfully perform their jobs, and really pull off their responsibilities for a long time.  They are the minority.

Most serious alcoholics are not so functional and would have a hard time getting through a job interview.  The people I know who are or have been addicted to alcohol have been able to determine pretty much what they are capable of as far as employment.  Many times an alcoholic will get the job but not be able to hold it, primarily due to the inability to make it to work for obvious reasons.
