Like others here, I work in an industry where intoxicated employees put their lives the lives of the public at risk. We do random drug/alcohol screens as mandated by law, but we are also able to single out anyone and send them to pee in a cup if we have any suspicion they are impaired.
But that's my line of work. You don't say what your line of work is. If I were working in a job where an intoxicated coworker posed no danger to anyone including himself, then I would take the advice that your manager has already given you. Focus on yourself and your job and don't worry about he's doing nor how he's doing it. And I say that as a manager who has given that exact advice to individuals in the past and has subsequently fired them for not taking it.
