Logged In or Out, Facebook Is Watching You
kaos07 links to this ZDNet story, according to which "Researchers at software vendor CA have discovered that social networking site Facebook is able to track the buying habits of its users on affiliated third-party sites even when they are logged out of their account or have opted out of its controversial 'Beacon' tracking service. Responding to privacy concerns, Facebook has since moved to reassure users that it only tracks and publishes data about their purchases if they are both logged in to Facebook and have opted-in to having this information listed on their profile. But in 'extremely disconcerting' findings that directly contradict these assurances, researchers at CA's Security Advisory service have found that data about these transactions are sent to Facebook regardless of a user's actions."
Sorry to wake you up to the real world, but yes, only drunks with a real problem get sloshed. And no, I don't mean having a few. I mean getting sloshed. Yes, I am serious. Welcome to reality. Go visit an AA session sometime. Find out what happens to people who think getting sloshed is ok.

I hate to tell you this, but they are drunks, and reality will catch up to them soon enough.

So you understand there's such a thing as "too much" but for some reason, intentionally drinking "too much" doesn't throw up a red flag for you? Fine. Give it a few years. I'll be patient. And yes, to the world of clinical psychology, it does matter. Having said all that, you REALLY need to learn to read. Go back and read that definition a few more times. Pay particular attention to the last sentence.

Habitual drinkers do NOT get sloshed. Those people are called drunks. But yes, by all means, do continue onwards here. I am *NOT* trolling. I am giving you my real world experience. the OP asked if employers care that prospective employees drink too much, and I replied positively, "yes we do". Go ask your own HR department if they would hire someone who drinks to impairment on purpose.
