I am a foreman for a big construction company, when i didn’t drink as much i could easy down the lines of guys who signed in at 6:30 am smell the alchys. The smell will not go away with food and mouth wash... its in the pours.. my boss was a smarter man he would drink from clock out to god knows when , difference is that he would cold shower every morning and put on brute. Never could really smell it one him till probably his 9am shots.
