drinking on the job or drunk before he got to work?

Hopefully before he got there. The thought of a driver having a stash at his feet bothers me significantly. Although I guess the net result is the same: drunk in charge of bus.

@ loquacity – id like to think he got drunk on the job…since then it just shows his stupiduty and lack of care for others, because if it was before he began his shift…..there would be alot more people to blame and question. I doubt no one would notice a drunk getting to work and grabbing the keys to a vehicle of any sort..
