Or better drinking at home!

I don’t think so. He’s just very unlucky.

Nah, regardless, calling off work to go drinking makes him an idiot any way you look at it.

your an idiot

That hurts coming from a person who doesn’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re.”

Eh, sick days can be taken for mental health as well. Sometimes, that may mean just needing a break, and you don't want to use your minimal vacation time for that... And in any case, 2 weeks of vacation in a year (what most American companies offer) is not enough. I say take off when you want and have a good time, if you already know you work hard.

And become broke and homeless! Nothing like dealing with bad decisions by making even more bad decisions!

Drinks that would make him even more dehydrated would make his lie even worse..

I believe you have misread the situation
