I don't know of a single person who didn't have an alcoholic teacher at some point during their school years.
Mr Thomson, our history teacher, used to carry a bloody hip flask.

I had a music teacher called Mr Simpson.
He lost his job because he had a couple of bottles of opened whiskey in his desk drawer.
He was a good teacher though. Funny and entertaining. He looked like a small gorilla.

I had a lecturer at uni who if you went in his office door too quickly after knocking he's always be putting a tray of booze under his desk, even 10 in the morning
he retired soon after and the indians made him ambassador to Australia. He taught at Berkely during the 60s, had a lot of good stories. a happy drunk, at least
