I was a TA at NYU, an instructor at Brooklyn College in NYC and at Yale, and  
am now a professor at the University of Massachusetts.  I certainly have had  
students fall asleep, but if they were drunk, I didn't realize it.  Our 
campus  has an alcohol problem, but not during class hours as far as I can 
tell.
