Well, I'll vote fer that....

Long ago I had an employee who quit drinking and drugging, his 'moment of truth' came to him right as he was about to hock his TV to buy drugs. He always said, no thanks, I'm allergic to alcohol, when I drink it I break out into another state. Maybe not original, but I never heard it in the rooms when I was actively going to AA.
Great guy. We were fairly friendly even though I was already a heavy drinker but I always appreciated his forthrightness. I covered the end of his shift sometimes when he told me he 'needed a meeting bad'.
