Emphatically, no. I made that mistake when I was 22 or 23, got in an accident, and was lucky to survive it. I learned that lesson. Having a drinking problem is bad enough but is not nearly as bad IMO as endangering the lives of innocent others.

Great SQL Server questions you posted, BTW. I am working on a project now where they make extensive use of SPs and triggers, and thought I was ramping up pretty well, and am certainly nowhere near mastery. Not yet anyway.
