Drink or not to Drink
 

We have not had many fun threads in the parking lot for awhile. Thought I give it a shot with this one.


A generally rule in my office is Friday lunch is a liquid one. My Friday afternoons in the summer are just a complete waste and you need a little help getting through them.


Anyone else partake?

I love having a cold one of Fridays, but not at lunch time!

You mean drinking at the office or drinking during lunch break? Unfortunately our corporate culture heavily frowns upon it, nobody does it. But I've had a beer with lunch before. But (unfortunately) never enough to tie one on and make work more fun!

Never drank at lunch and wouldn't want to. Similar kind of thing as Schneed.

However I did have to work on New Years Eve and we had beer in the office. Partook then.

The one time I drank at lunch I never made it back into the office and I lost my truck and somebody shot my dog. I was thinking of naming my boat "Cirrhosis Of The River".

That is what I kind of meant a beer or two. Not sloppy drunk.

Are you in the process of naming a boat? at least 3 of your posts today dealt with a good name for a boat!

Serving in Germany, all the German civilian workers that drank (which was a ton of them) were able to have two beers at lunch at the cantina. Germany was a trip.

Actually I worked at Marriott for 10 years and when I was in DC my hotel was union and you were allowed two 12 ounce beers at lunch per union rules.

Wow, I didn't think we had that here anywhere

I adopted that rule my second year in service. I have abondoned it since I got out.

I work nights, but I love to day drink. I do it often. Like daily. More of a wine drinker.

At work, it's strictly shots. No cocktails for me.

I'm not a lunch drinker but by 5pm tonight I was mixing up a margarita

No alcohol for me during work hours, I work in the public education sector. Back in my younger days installing telecom equipment in central offices I don't remember not being drunk.

I forgot to stop by the store tonight :(
