McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

Have a one to one chat with him. Ask him if anything is up because you've noticed that he doesn't seem like his normal self. Mention the two specific instances. It may be nothing but it may be enough to nudge him away from the slippery slope, and at least you've tried to help.
Yikes. Thats a really delicate situation because you don't want him to blow up on you for asking. Chances are anyone who's drunk or hungover at their actual job is too far gone, but you're a good person for wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt
Just make sure if you're going to commit to this delicate topic, youre ready and fully able to be there and provide a support system for him. Tread lightly, It really depends on the situation too has it happened more than once or did he just go to a birthday party or something, stayed out late and didn't have time to stop at home and change. At least he didn't call in especially if it's this one instance. but at the same time if he's careless or taking his job for granted, let nature take it's course saying something with no follow through on your end or not being having that comfortable friendship with a person can easily make you a target if they end up getting fired they'll convince themselves you had something to do with it.
But if it's something more serious like mental health issues or problems at home, he might appreciate the fact that you came to him instead of reporting him. But keep in mind someone at a low point in life might see you as a savior that noticed them in their time of need, this will shift dynamics to weird real real quick they'll rely on you like a codependent relationship. But not always if youre strong and secure in your values, it might build a very strong bond between you two as employees.
All in all if he's a grown man he knows the risks he faces and his responsibilities. Is he new to the job? Or is this just the first time you've noticed. Maybe others know that's just who he is and he's been doing it for years. It depends also on the workplace and the dynamics. Just do what feels right to you and your values at the end of the day, that's what's going to make or break your spirit. Stay true to you and come, what may!
I wouldn’t address it. It’s not your problem. Let him suffer the consequences of his actions.
I think I would address it with him. I’d let him know that I smell the alcohol, after that it’s on him.
