do not successfully abstain at the drop of a hat while also denying that they are problem drinkers -- recognizing that there exists a problem to deal with is part of successfully dealing with the problem. And regularly showing up to work with alcohol on your breath, as has been widely reported of his time at FUX, is plainly a sign of a problem.
