***** list for a ***** website. - smindsrt, on 03/17/2009, -1/+22They left off hooker!
- warpsmith, on 03/18/2009, -0/+126) Duffman
- pjosemroy, on 03/17/2009, -0/+7Besides, alcoholic professions I liked the moral part of the story, the 'CAUTIONARY MESSAGE'.
- AmyVernon, on 03/17/2009, -0/+7Once upon a time, journalists would have been included on this list. Ah, the good ol' days.
- inactive, on 03/17/2009, -1/+8want one of these)))) any one..
- nailPuppy, on 03/18/2009, -0/+6Where is "Tech Support/Customer Service"?
Anyone who has worked a call center job will agree that drinking is required. - Phasmorphage, on 03/18/2009, -0/+6...it's 2 ***** pages dude
- chicagojack, on 03/17/2009, -0/+4no, now they spit
- absentmindedjwc, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4work where I do, and you will see quite a large amount of free-flowing alcohol... Journalists are still drinking.. you just need to look at different media outlets.
- Prometeus, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4Missing: Programmer. http://xkcd.com/323/
- TwistyMcFister, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4any government job where you have to deal with douchebags............
- Hpot17, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4This reminds me of when I used to be a commercial pilot....
- groof, on 03/18/2009, -0/+3Well put. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, askmen. Your attempt to become like Cracked is failing horribly.
- pitchblack16, on 03/17/2009, -0/+3lol, ditto.
- immatellyouwhat, on 03/18/2009, -3/+6Diggnation
- deadasdisco, on 03/18/2009, -1/+4i'm a dj. i can't remember the last time i did my job sober.
and in completely unrelated news, i'm pretty sure i'm an alcoholic. - Mankind121, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2Burried because it's just a lame article. Did anyone think that any of these jobs didn't require some level of drinking? It's pretty much common sense figuring out what jobs require this, brewmaster - yes -- neurosurgeon - no
- Persian5Life, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2"It probably need not be said that these jobs, though awesome, are not a blueprint for careers in general, and that even if you do work in a situation where drinking is acceptable, it should never feel like a compulsion. If you find it difficult to stop, or if your drinking is ever beyond your control, seek some help." i like that comment at the end.
- sg1fan, on 03/24/2009, -0/+2reading is so hard isn't it?
- Dan6963, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2Strippers also get to mix it up with some coke and meth!
- jcsoc, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2I thought that was very cute, just like the "please drink smirnoff responsibly" after an ad enticing me to drink.
- Bilbobaggins, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2The list is missing accountant.
- djctown, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2DJs should be on top of that list, I mean our office IS the bar/club. Come on dude!
- inactive, on 03/18/2009, -4/+6Buried for more of AskMen's multiple page *****.
- inactive, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2oooo yeahh!
- gill003, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2Good one dude.
- sg1fan, on 03/24/2009, -0/+2They also left off: parent
- 800266622, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2I really think they missed the *real* top job for drinking--legislative aides and chiefs of staff--are regularly given drinks by lobbyists, special interest groups, and at political functions thrown by politicians and other leg aides.
- freshgrease, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1What about the Japanese salaryman? If they don't drink up to par with their bosses, they will get in trouble or fired.
- hogie616, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1i was hoping for jobs where networking is key. I work in video production and a man (or woman's) ability to drink is an unspoken asset.
- anxdiety, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1I've worked as a cook for 10 years before turning to "Tech Support/Customer Service". I can be alcoholic now?
- tmsbrdrs, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1not if you pay the premium
- inactive, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1The disclaimer at the end is a total buzz kill.
- D2Much, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1The chefs at my old work, didnt drink because they had to but, because the owner brought them beer and jaggerbombs, through out the night.
- dbinder, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Too many askmen.com multi-page lists lately....buried
- dman24752, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Dugg for the cautionary part at the end. Lawyers FTW!
- Lososaurus, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Being a programmer, drinking isn't necessary, but it helps( and I'm not just talking about the Ballmer Curve ).
- froggertv, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Good moral of the story.
- kweee, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Teacher. #1, no contest.
- funkyp56, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1I got an ad in between switching pages, what kind of ***** was that?
- Brian47126, on 03/19/2009, -0/+1I have a drinking job not on this list:
Pub Crawl Leader
I take tourists to a series of five bars and drink with them--it's a good gig. - inactive, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Be an artist and drink to cut the agony of having no money.
- matdekker, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Author?
Artist?
Street Sheet Peddler?
Professional Recyclers? - insky60, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Pilot?
- MattBD, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1Last I heard Germany has the post of Minister for Beer - what a cool job that would be!
- manuvsteele, on 03/20/2009, -0/+0Sweet! I will experiment.
- ijobspro, on 07/07/2009, -0/+0hello..... drinking artist..! How are you?
- lirachitra, on 03/18/2009, -0/+0I don't think drink is necessary, though there are some exceptional case like drainage cleaning, post-mortem.
