MR. JUSTICE UNDERWOOD, dissenting: I agree that a reasonable amount of drinking may be included within the course of employment of one in claimant’s position. When that drinking reaches the degree of intoxication manifested in this record, however, a finding that a resulting injury arises out of and in the course of employment is, in my judgment, contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence. (1A A. Larson, Workmen’s Compensation sec. 34.00 (1979).) I believe the arbitrator in this case correctly denied compensation. MR. JUSTICE KLUCZYNSKI joins in this dissent.
