LIMA (Reuters) - Peru's top court has ruled that workers cannot be fired for being drunk on the job, a decision that was criticized by the government on Wednesday for setting a dangerous precedent.
The Constitutional Tribunal ordered that Pablo Cayo be given his job back as a janitor for the municipality of Chorrillos, which fired him for being intoxicated at work.
The firing was excessive because even though Cayo was drunk, he did not offend or hurt anybody, Fernando Calle, one of the justices, said on Wednesday.

LOL... OK, now that I think about it... Who cares if the janitor is drunk? I mean, if the guy was a truck driver, yeah that’s gonna be a problem. But there’s pretty limited damage he can do with a mop and a bucket.

Awesome!
I’ll get all hammered up Monday and try this out.
Besides, nothing spells “fun” like being all drunked up
around a few hundred thousand gallons of flammable stuff
and a few tons of explosives. As I’m sure you know.
