Really to sorry to hear about yur job whopper. Your coworker sounds like a nasty piece of work. There's a few suspect ones in my office which is why I never disclose anything about myself I wouldn't want everyone to hear, as gossip travels fast.
I am glad you are posting here though. I stand by the statement that I have never encountered a problem which drinking did not make worse.
I hope you can find some alternative employment. The priority is that you are sober whopper.
