Alcohol is the oil that lubricates the gears of social interaction . I do that trick also on special occasions (interviews, presentations etc)

I usually have just a sip , but sometimes I dream of recreating Kierkegaard's experiment from Druk where I'd show up to work constantly drunk. (un)Fortunately, I will never actually carry it out because I have to do precision work with expensive machinery, and also often need to perform intellectual labour. It also doesn't help that I often use lasers, solvents, high-voltage equipment, radioactive sources etc. But that doesn't stop me from dreaming

Aren't you scared that people could smell it?
