Drunk @ Work

If I had one of those pesky "jobs," I imagine I'd have a bourbon (or six) during lunch break.

I have high hopes for this thread.

I used to drink in class in law school a good bit on Thursday nights. I went at nights, while working a pretty stressful job, so I was always ready to get an early start on the weekend.

I've come to work still a little drunk from the night before, but have never actually imbibed at work, except when lobbying, when I was a busboy, and an occasionally beer with lunch on Fridays.

Well, whats wrong with having a little Christmas cheer during the day? It would seem almost anti-social not to partake in a social lubricant....

The last few jobs I've had encouraged and expected that we'd be drinking at holiday parties. No, that we'd be tanked. One job actually expected us to be drinking while working. I still remember the days that my boss checked that I had a six-pack with me before I started my shift. Mmm...

Yes, a few times, but mostly with full knowledge and consent of the boss.

Alright Connie, get in here and pick up the drunken posting slack!

We all did booze "Dirty Santa" where you swap and steal and whatever; but, I don't think we'll get to crack it open...and they're making us wait until 4 to do it anyways.

You work?

It's been eight days since my last drink.

So what excuse do you have now?

I used to work at a company that had "Beer Fridays" where the beers came out at noon. I think they stopped those because of liability issues... Everyone drove to work.
