'Not illegal to teach drunk': 2nd grade teacher allegedly drunk in class won't be charged
lawandcrime.com
No charges were filed against a Northern California second grade teacher who police said was teaching with a blood alcohol content level two times the legal limit.

While the District Attorney’s Office agrees that it is highly inappropriate to teach while intoxicated, it is, unfortunately, not illegal.”

    You don’t need to believe it, I’m sure a lot of teachers would do a whole ton better with a buzz. Be more fun, more engaging.

    Your puritanical attitude is your own, and you need to stop forcing your own misconceptions on others.

      In my experience (sober for two years, and a lot of talks with people in various stages of alcoholism to help with my own), while this maybe has some truth to it in lucky circumstances, the kind of people willing to have a buzz in that situation aren’t the kind who stop at just a buzz

        Are you sober because you got your mental health issues addressed and you no longer needed the vice?

        Or are you sober because prohibitionists locked onto you, beat you down, punished you, sucked up all your money, broke you, and now you are “sober” like someone who lived in San Jacinto and was thrown into the pit, was broken, and is now a “devoted free thinking Scientologist”?

            So you caught a charge and got reprogrammed by a court system that focuses on the substances, not the crime.

            Gotcha.

              No I’m serious I don’t know what you were going on about but it seemed like a lot of stuff in there. You’re being wildly specific and tying together things in a way that I legitimately don’t understand what you’re saying and also you’re just wrong in my case lol

              I decided to get sober because I don’t like how addiction feels like a loss of autonomy and I physically felt like shit all the time. I was able to get sober because I put a lot of work into surrounding myself with supportive people

              Do you drink and argue on the Internet at all hours because you’re caught in a self destructive spiral but still have too much of an ego to give up hating the world?
