I've had 3 or 4, unrelated people say this to me in the last year. Have you guys ever heard that painters have a high alcoholism rate?
p.s. I'm talking about commercial painters, not artsy painters.

Is that like the suicide rate among dentists?

I know at least one artsy painter (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/member.php?u=36849) that is a raging alcy.

Pretty much holds up in my experience.
He's dead now, but THE go to guy for sign painting in Ardmore when I was kid was a dominos buddy of my Pop's. My childhood memory of him was he always smelled like whisky. He must have been a high-functioning alchy though because he did great work.
The alcoholic buzz goes well with the chemical high from all the paints and solvents.
