I'd be more concerned about a dipsomancer being allowed to
be an ambulance driver.  I don't know too much about
alcoholism, so maybe I'm off base here.  However, after
some time, someone who relies on drinking will probably be
pulled over for driving under the influence.  Those who
maintain control of their drinking can avoid drinking and
driving, but that hardly explains a boozehound.

And I doubt that an ambulance driver would remain such if
he has a record of drinking and driving.  Of course, it
could be a symbol for how wretched society has become. 
After all, we still find pilots who drank before their
flights as well as other people under the influence of
drugs while performing dangerous tasks.  Who's going to
notice a drunk ambulance driver in this society?

IIRC, you get 10 minors for one siggy.  Likewise, you get
10 significant charges for a major (though you'd have to be
really desperate to cash in a major).
