Any one been subjected to breath analysis before they can code?

Only when you pair program. One must have good oral hygiene when working so close.

Tic Tacs or mints should assist with your concern.

More should, after looking at some code it appears what they been smoking ain't entirely legal.

The less you need, the more you have.

I was specifically asking about alcohol breath analysis as opposed to drug testing.

However your comment is a valid point.

I have never smoked spaghetti and I didn't know that it was illegal to do so.

Your answer has given me new ideas though, for naming some of my classes, sub routines, functions and modules that I am not really happy about, but time restraints force me to include.

Some of these names are;
Tagliatelle, Ramen and Vermicelli. Laugh | :laugh:

It is the Vermicelli that is the most embarrassing.

For me drinking a little Alcohol impedes my ability to play sport, code, remember what I did, etc.
I am certainly not against it, but I am with regards to work.

I recently listened to a Professor who was working on testing people affected by different substances and how this affected their ability to drive.

It was quite interesting.

He was saying that people who had smoked the spaghetti, especially those who were used to it, actually drove far better than usual and better than others who were normal. They concentrated on the task of driving better than when they hadn't smoked it as well.
The interesting thing that he found was that whilst they were able to fully focus on the task, it was when things went wrong that they completely failed. As soon as there was multiple extra sensory input coming in they failed to cope as well as when they were un-spaghettied.

So I feel that the code that you reference in your post, is probably going to always be there regardless.

Still like you I have often said, "What have you been smoking?"
I can't recall ever saying "What have you been drinking".

Yes. Actually it is a sample check made regularly in my company, because we often work on safety critical systems (rail, automotive, aerospace, military, medical) so we have a 0 alcohol policy in place during working hours.

Sounds reasonable to me.
I have usually seen these policies implemented for safety reasons.
Same here I guess except, they are not so much concerned with your safety, but the safety of the product.

Just like us Poke tongue | ;-P

don't fool around with quality procedures because if a plane falls for this it's the end.

No, but it is probably a good idea if you are working on software, etc. that peoples lives depend on.

Sucked me in for a mo.

After the second drink I shut down the IDE.
Too risky to continue.........

You used to work with VB6, drinking is required by the EULA.

They say if you type

Option Drunk

in the head of the code it automatically deactivates Option Explicit, inserts On Error Resume Next and activates Option Base 1 and Option Compare Text for the best coding experience.
