I too was a high functioning alcoholic. I went to work every day, even tho I had a blackout the night before, and went to work STILL in a blackout -- I never remembered GETTING to work, and couldn't remember what car i drove, or the trip there. I didn't "wake up" until noon or so. I drank like that for 20 years ~ doing my job like anyone else, and in fact, I got glowing progress reports in my personnel file.  I was an optician, so i had to know what i was doing. LOL Little did they know I faked it alot. 
When I got sober, my boss and co-workers were SHOCKED that I even drank!!! They swore they didn't know I was a drunk -- they must have been darn fools not to know.  *I* could even smell the booze coming out of my pores the morning after. ACK!!
