We work more than the other trades....For obvious reasons...
attributing alcohol use is being suckered into a stereotype. We just had a surgeon in the area arrested for trying to ply his craft with his blood alcohol level at 0.32...Does that condemn all surgeons?

Drive by any of the Country Clubs, Yatch Clubs, etc. And see who comes out stagering. I bet it isn't painters. White collars can just cover it up better. ::)

I've known a fraction of those who drank excessively, after work. Never did I work with someone who drank on the job, and this is after 20-odd years in the trade. I saw no preponderance of alcoholics in the painting trade like I have in others (like the medical profession, or worse the local Air-Guard).
...And I've worked side-by-side with alcoholics who, by virtue of having an ETHIC, never drank on the job.
Yeah, lets perpetuate a myth... ::) This thread stradles the cusp of idiocy for it's insinuation...
