Applicant contends that the WCJ erred in finding that she did not sustain an industrial injury, arguing that she did not deviate from the special errand she was sent on by her employer and that the defendant is estopped from claiming the intoxication defense because the employer permitted the intoxication of its employees. We have considered the petition for reconsideration, and we have reviewed the record in this matter. We have received an answer from defendant. The WCJ has filed a Report and Recommendation on Petition for Reconsideration (Report), recommending that the petition be denied.
