Not being an addict myself - I can't imagine how anything gets accomplished at work...but I know that alcoholics need a certain amount of alcohol in their system to even feel functional; kind of a maintaining of the status quo at the cellular level.
My friend described it as needing to drink pretty much all day just to feel normal, She wasn't "drunk" in her mind, she was "normal".
