> Fortunately his legacy is continued by "British scaffolders" - a famous sub-group within construction, who you can still see to this day getting utterly shit-faced in a pub on cider over lunch, before returning to site. 'Fortunately'? I'm not up for prissiness and stupid rules but hefty metalwork being put in high places - there's nothing good about mixing alcohol with that. Edit: I'll go further - I'm disturbed that you can endorse macho bullshit culture that can get themselves or worse, any bystanders, mashed up or killed.

    the assumption here is that alcohol makes them less safe but do you have data on heights and alcohol?

      Interesting, if slightly troll-y question. Let's go for it. Original comment referred to scaffolders getting "utterly shit-faced". Are you proposing that high levels of alcohol do not impair physical ability and judgement?

        >utterly shit-faced in a pub on cider over lunch emph on "over lunch", I interpreted it as hyperbole from someone from a less teetotaling culture i'd guess 1-2 (2 for a heavier person) would not impair abilities at heights and could actually make someone less nervous
