Lie, lie, lie.
Stop drinking and driving.
They didn't catch you doing anything. They caught alcohol in your car. That doesn't mean anything. They didn't catch you drinking
Alcoholic tip, switch to potato vodka. Less aromatic. No juniper etc.
As a Pole that is true, but alcohol will be smelt from your sweat.
Never admit anything to your boss or the police. If you're drinking at work you are an alcoholic and you should get help though.
This isn't gonna be a good situation for ya, but if you wanna talk to an ex-daily drinker, I'm one year out of rehab (almost 11 months technically but whatever) and its stuck with me. Always happy to be an ear! Also had my bouts with benzo and opiate addiction, so I'm sure a lot of feelings you have would be familiar.
I'm confused about the order of events here.
The worst reading is you were drunk, your boss had you drive him home, and at some point he discovered evidence of you drinking in your car, presumably at work/on the way to work/whatever.
The other (better) reading is you were drunk at work at some other time, today you had to drive your boss home, and he found gin in your car which he took as evidence you are still drinking at work, possibly even while driving. Although alcohol is legal and the mere presence of it in a private vehicle doesn't mean anything illegal or against work rules occurred. Which is why I assume this was a follow up event to the first statement. I'm probably reading too much into it
You might be. You're extremely lucky that you didn't get fired for being drunk at work because that alone is a huge liability and most bosses aren't going to take that risk.
This is the wake-up call you've been waiting for. It's time to get serious.
If I were you I'd find a good sobriety program and other supports for addressing your drinking problem. Then I'd march into the bosses office, ask to speak to him, sit down and look him dead in the eye and say:
"I'm not here to lie to you and I'm not going to ask you to play pretend with me. You know I have a drinking problem. I know I have a drinking problem. The other day was a turning point for me and I've realised how far I let this get out of hand.
I'm not asking for your sympathy or your forgiveness. I'm not going to ask you for a second chance. I just want you to know that I've done [x, y, and z] since that turning point the other day. If that's not enough for you, I don't begrudge you for it; I have a long road ahead of me and the only way that I'm going to make progress is by taking responsibility for my choices. If this is the point where I get laid off then the only person I have to blame for it is myself."
But the thing is, you're gonna have to mean it when you say it. The excuses and the denial have paved the road for you up to this point and they're going to keep on paving it for as long as you keep on using them. It's only through accountability that you're going to change the direction you're heading in.
Good luck. You can do this.
Are you fucked? Probably. Will you get fired? Maybe. It likely depends on what you do next. I'm not sure how universal it is, but if you enter treatment a lot of places CAN'T fire you. You can DM me if you want to talk about it.
Why was he looking under your back seat? Lol why was he in the back of the car at all? Scandalous!
Yes. Drinking and driving is terrible. You're extremely fucked.
Are you in trouble? Idk
Is it illegal to have alcohol under a backseat? Is it evidence of anything except having alcohol under a seat?
Drink driving bad. Alcoholic abuse/dependence a serious problem.
But gaslight/gatekeep/girl boss. You’re not getting fired for the gin that you keep for camping trips. That would be crazy.
Is it illegal to have alcohol under a backseat? Is it evidence of anything except having alcohol under a seat?
Probably an open container, which would be illegal in a car, at least in
at least in states I'm familiar with you can have say, a partial bottle of liquor but it has to be inaccessible to the driver and not in the passenger area of the vehicle (so in the trunk or behind the back seats). Under the back seat is probably in violation of that depending on the vehicle.
I think this is a sign you’re about to receive a big promotion. Smile brightly today young sir :)
Edit: given the total lack of details and ambiguity of this post(were you caught being drunk in the car or at your work site? Why would your boss want a ride home from you if you were drunk? Ect). I’m assuming this is a joke and you meant to post this to badposting but dude if you’re for real you need to pull yourself together before you get yourself or others killed.
