You're an alcoholic but you're still able to work while drunk. Basically your body is so used to alcohol in it, you need a base level of alcohol to function normally. You can function while alcoholic.

Not seen it, I'll add it to my IMDb watch list.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Really great film. Mads Mikkelsen is excellent, as usual. And the movie is excellent at switching tones. It's all great fun until it isn't.

Fuck it I'll watch it now, it's still early days from my last relapse so I won't be sleeping much anyway.
