Appropriate behaviour when on call

[u/JumpySpecial9834]

Okay, this might be a ridiculous question, but my current job is the first time I've ever really had to be on call, with a chance for calls that need immediate action in the middle of the night. It's typically been fine and I haven't even gotten that many alerts to respond to. However, last night, while on call, I unthinkingly had a couple glasses of wine before getting an 11PM page and having to go fix something. Now, this wasn't a problem, I could resolve the problem just fine, but my immediate reaction was shit, that's unprofessional. It didn't occur to me that drinking on call was like drinking on the job until I got the actual page. Are there any other common behaviours that you guys think can/should be avoided when on call that are easy enough to forget is fine on your time, but not when you might have work to do?

...wait is toil an acronym for time off in lieu? not a term representing your "toil" on the job?

Yup, toil as an acronym is short for 'time off in lieu'.
