PLAY FAVORITES

- My boss is really bad. He's alienated lots of people, play favorites, sometimes smells of booze, forgets important meetings and never knows what any of his workers are doing.

- Do "play favorites" and "smells of booze" have figurative meanings in this context?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

I don't think so-- they are rather straightforward: "plays favorites" -- treats people unequally "smells of booze" -- emits the odor of alcohol.
