There is absolutely no reason for any official, of any sport, at any level to consume alcohol prior to working a game that day.
None................
If I am in the locker room and I detect alcohol on the breath of a partner, he/she isn't working. If he/she insists, then I tell him I am going to notify the game administrator, AD, coach and/or whomever else I can think of that the partner in quetion has alcohol on his/her breath.
If the guy/gal, is that dumb enough to try to work the game after that, then they deserve the subsequent forfeiture of their license.
