My cousin was a welder in his younger days and was pretty good at it. The shop he worked at got a contract to do some work for the space shuttle. Every morning he would light up before work, and used to tell about how being "buzzed" helped hom focus on his work.

I used to use the same logic about driving with a beer between my legs... until I lost my license for operating under the influence.

I worked on the shuttle project on was on the shop floor when Challenger Exploded...

We took it very hard but only the welder left to go to a bar... he did his best with a buzz...
