Someone who may have a problem with alcohol.

Question

I have a friend who works with someone who is often times possibly drunk but not really obvious. Probably due to tolerance. This person works hard and is always professional, treats everyone well, and is just really a good person, so that is what makes this question difficult. It is just suspected among co-workers that this person may have a problem with alcohol.

The question then is, should she say something to her boss or human resources regarding this? Or, if this person continues to function well despite their possible problem, leave them alone?

Answer 1

don't tell your boss or hr, just talk to this person your self

Answer 2

Unless it starts to become a problem I would leave it unless that person is in a dangerous kind of job.

Answer 3

no that person  need to go and get some help now before it does become a problem and loose his job.

Answer 4

addiction doesn't care about your social standing. just because this person is respected and hard working doesn't mean they can't have a problem with alcohol
