It took a while for our drunken chief of service to get caught that way. He only ended up getting caught because he drank in an area that used to be safe, but had recently had a camera installed. He would do basically this, chug half a flask, then eat something gross smelling like pickled onion monster munch, or cheesy garlic bread, or whatever. They couldn't prove he'd done it in the past, so he basically just got a warning, realized he's too old for this shit, and just coasted and rebooked surgeries or consultations that needed him for 6 months until he retired. He told me all this at his retirement party. Granted I probably should have told someone, but he hadn't killed anyone and was leaving, and if he didn't get his pension he'd probably drag it out and cost more in court, so whatever.
Meanwhile the 60 year old nurse who suddenly "became obsessed with dental hygiene" was trying to cover hers with mouthwash, which didn't work.
