    That’s scary for someone to be so drunk so early in the morning!!!
    B”h there were no pedestrians walking there at that time!!!

    I have some workers who once in a while come to work in the morning smelling of alcohol. They explain that when they are very tired, the alcohol revs them up and gives them more energy!!

    I tried to explain that it may work only temporarily, then it will make you even more tired. But its hard to change their views when its an accepted fact in their culture.
