Would cutting down on the rampant [strike]alcoholism[/strike] drinking by CCP emplyees improve Eve?

From what I can see there is nothing about alcohol that is good for productivity, imagination, creativity, or brilliant game creation. Would taking actions to reduce it to a minimum amongst CCP employees drastically improve Eve?

I'd rather have a drunk DEV/GM/HAMSTER than one suffering from withdrawal. P

Alcohol is the problem of yesterday. The problem actual is the Internet and what it's doing to our brains - like using EVE forums for nonsense.

I just received the recommendation "Read this and get scared about yourself!":

I just ordered it and whatever happens: you never will get my stuff.

You should probably get rid of your cats if you do. Or even if you don't start.

No! Please don't. You're a rare breed at CCP it seems...careful about saying that aloud, they might put you in a corporate museum for all the pubbies to gawk at.

Some evidence would seem to suggest that alcohol may actually be necessary to achieve peak programming skill. P

I quit drinking at least five times a week! Sometimes even more frequently!
Drinking is a question of moderation.

Love to see that CCP Dev's still have a sense of humor! I almost expected this would be locked within about 30 seconds. Lol

I know what ccp should make next! A still house! I mean they made a dam good game for a while I bet their whisky, rum, or vodka would kick ass!
