yep, time to start looking for a new employee. I hope its an at will workplace, so firing wont be complicated when the alcoholic inevitably screws up at the workplace. Its not pessimism, but for many alcoholics, they simply wont see the real need to a change until they've destroyed most of their life already. In the meantime,a business can't risk a drunk QA person. It just can't.

You are not the asshole, you are afraid they are going to tease your child because they won't know how to interact with her. It's a common tease and grown ups typically take it too far. Just play interference by telling them what her hobbies are or about her special interest. They want to talk or get to know her, show them a better way.
