update: according to this there are no laws preventing a pharamacist from being drunk while dispensing medications. and it says in that report that he was realllyy drunk, like he couldn't stand up very well. This reminds me of the drunk pilot story from PA. outrageous.
Police say pharmacist was drunk on job
July 18, 2005
SANDWICH, Mass. (AP) -- A pharmacist at a Cape Cod drug store was taken into protective custody after appearing to be drunk on the job.
Police went to Sedell's Pharmacy in Sandwich after receiving an anonymous complaint from a customer. Police said the pharmacist -- identified as only a 51-year-old man from Lakeville -- failed a Breathalyzer test and was taken into protective custody at the Sandwich police station.
The man was not arrested or charged with any crime. But a person who answered the phone at Sedell's told The Cape Cod Times that the pharmacist no longer has a job there. The store is also double-checking all prescriptions filled by the pharmacist yesterday to make sure they were done correctly.
