Downfalls of being a brew taster.

I want that job. No lawsuits, I promise.


Worker rewarded for getting drunk on the job

March 31 2004 at 02:01AM

Rio De Janeiro - A Brazilian man has won increased compensation from a brewery after 20 years as a taster made him an alcoholic.

Master Brewer Bernd Naveke, 49, drank around eight litres of beer every working day while at the Brahma Brewery near Rio de Janeiro.

He was forced to leave his job after becoming a registered alcoholic and hasn't worked since.

In the original case he was awarded $30 000 (about $180 000) and a monthly pension for life equal to his old salary of $2 600.

During the original case, the court ruled the company couldn't appeal the outcome, but Naveke appealed on the grounds the compensation wasn't enough. Now a court in Rio has ordered the brewery to pay him $2-million, according to O Globo.

"I had to drink up to eight litres of beer a day and I left work drunk every day," Naveke said. - Ananova.com

Good Lord, that's nearly a case a day. 20 years of that, I'll bet he's in rough shape.

Mom Accused Of Stripping At Son's Party Heads To Jail

POSTED: 8:13 a.m. EST April 2, 2004
MERCER, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania mom is going to jail for allegedly stripping at her teenage son's birthday party.

Prosecutors charged that 35-year-old Patricia Johnson provided the entertainment when plans to ride go-carts fizzled. Thursday, a judge sentenced Johnson to serve three to 15 months in jail.

She pleaded guilty last month to a misdemeanor corruption charge and furnishing alcohol to minors. But Johnson didn't admit she stripped for the 13- to 16-year-old boys at a hotel. Authorities said Johnson bought beer for her son and three friends -- and licked their faces while she did her striptease act.






Johnson said her unusual behavior was fueled by pills and alcohol.
