What can you do about co-workers who engage in Led Zeppelin-style drinking, cocaine use and pot-smoking?

Question:

They come in moody, tired, lazy, insolent, and have horrible hangovers. They act paranoid and depressed. They have withdrawal symptoms and space out. Should they be let go? Should I go to management?

Answers:
If drug use is interfering with them doing their job--or worse, *you* doing *your* job--then, yes, it's reasonable to go to management about it. Are you certain they're on drugs, though? A lot of people are stupid, crazy, or just bad workers without them.

What do you care?
Do your job and don't pay any attention to your co-workers
They will eventually self-destruct and you won't have to do a darn thing.
AND you will look so good to management next to your drunken partying, lazy co-workers.

Only if it effects your production. Otherwise, why bother? They may even make you look good! Does it make YOU look good or bad or neither? I think that's what it boils down to. :)
