   - Aggressive Behavior: Alcohol can increase irritability and aggression, leading to conflicts with coworkers.

   - Communication Problems: Lack of clarity in communication can cause misunderstandings and tensions.

2. Relationships with Supervisors

   - Loss of Trust: Supervisors may lose trust in your ability to perform your job effectively.

   - Missed Opportunities: Opportunities for promotion and growth can be affected if supervisors perceive you have a problem with alcohol.

3. Toxic Work Environment
