    +The starkest documentation of what happens when the operator drinks at his own event is a NYE incident that I would rather not relive but need to be honest about. Three hours outside a venue. Incoherent messages. Frantic audio calls. The next day: apologies, fast recovery, no victim narrative. But the damage to operational clarity was real and measurable.
    +
    +There have been other incidents. A blackout at TBA where I lost my phone, woke up with a gash on my forehead, and had no memory of the previous four hours. A blackout at an after-party where I lit a cigarette in the middle of someone’s living room. Each time followed by genuine embarrassment and immediate self-correction. But the pattern was clear: alcohol and operational responsibility do not coexist at the same event.
