If he shows up and gets the job done then I see no problem.
How would you know he drinks every night? It's not like he's going to tell you that before he's hired.
You couldn't sack him either if he is turning up and getting it done. |

I would, because I do too. However, it would be in your best interest to make a point of pointing out how that could be an issue. Drinking every night without repercussion could lead to coming into work still drunk or too hungover to be worth a shht.
I also seen a response you had that reminded me... you have to be sure that this person will not affect someone else's safety!!! |

If he does his job, and does it well, I'm all for it. |

as long as he is not drunk at work or drinking at work, and it does not affect his performance, I could care less what he does when not at work. |

Shows up and gets the job done is the bottom line. Don't see why not.
I'd rather have a stoner employee than a drunk though. |

That's a tricky question.I personally would as long as they are showing up on time and getting the job done.My opinion is that it is your own business if you drink,just don't let it interfere with your job. |

It depends on what the job is and how long I'd want to keep him around for. One time when I was the manager of a small Internet provider, I hired a guy to be our one and only sales person. I slowly came to realize that he was hungover like every single morning. He still managed to be a great salesman for quite awhile. Eventually though, I think it started to get the better of him and he started sliding off. I heard they let him go sometime after I had moved onto another job.
Just remember that if someone has a drinking problem, it is generally a slow decline and you can't count on them growing out of it or getting better. Business is business. |

I think I would not. But I'm not a manager so I really wouldn't know. |

If he gets the job done reliably, then I can't really see that much of a problem. You might want to hire him on a probationary period, though, just to be sure his work stays up to par, that he keeps coming in reliably, etc. You might also want to consider the effect that his hungover-ness has on your other employees- is he in a high enough position where he could/should be serving as a role model? Is it somehow affecting employee morale or is relationships with other workers? |

Personally I wouldn't.
I work a 2nd shift job. It gets sickening dealing with people that literally can't work 5 minutes extra to finish what they're doing, or make sure their last task was done correctly.
They have to run out the door and head for the bar. |

I wouldn't. The fact that you have to ask this on the internet already shows a concern towards the situation.
If there is no decency to show restraint in partying, then what else will show up down the road? |

It depends on the job.

If he gets the job done then I don't see the problem. But if it starts affecting his work you should cut him off.
Honestly, though, if you're his friend then you should talk to him because drinking every night is called alcoholism and its a disease, a very bad one! |

Before you decide, keep in mind that alcoholism is a disease and as such can be considered a disability. Because of this, it may be very difficult to fire him if the drinking starts to interfere with the job. You could be required to offer him rehabilitation services, or pay unemployment even if you fire him for a good reason, because you hired him knowing he had a problem. And what happens to his position if he is arrested for DUI or Public Intoxication? Can you cover his work for a few days? |
