I don't drink

I hope Juncker does not have a drink issue!

There seems to be a lot of hype recently about Jean-Claude Juncker (one of the five, yes five current presidents of the EU) having a drink issue. The Sun even report him as drinking gin instead of water during meetings.
Now I am not sure if any of this is real news, but the picture of him drinking wine during a meeting really annoyed me.
I know for a fact that I could not work as well when I had had a drink and that any decision I made would have been somewhat suspect. But even when I was an alcoholic I never drank during business meetings. I did drink at lunch or at dinner afterwards but whilst the meeting was on, even if it was a working lunch I knew better than to drink alcohol.
With millions of people being dependent upon the decisions this man makes if he does have a drink problem then he needs to seek immediate help (I am willing to offer free advice) and stand down. The same goes for anyone in a position of authority. Although drink is socially acceptable in the Western world I am sure that a photograph of Juncker smoking a joint during a business session would lead to immediate dismissal. Why should taking the alcohol drug be any different.
