Beer on your lunch break

[OCGuy]

Im not talking about getting shitfaced, or doing it all of the time, but having a tall beer or two on a friday before you head back to the office. The rest of the day just sails by.....

Am I alone?

Edit: And im talking about at a restaraunt, not pounding a 40 in your minivan in the parking lot.

I am often tempted, but have never done so. Maybe I will tomorrow.

i hate doing it because my productivity will drop. but my company has beer parties at 4pm every other week.

Oh ok, nevermind then.

 

[cheezy321]

I have done this before. A beer or two never hurt anyone!

I like the way you think.

What if it's done with some class - like a 40oz of Busch light instead of OE in your late-model sedan?

And no, the topic came up in a team meeting. Not like you'd narc anyone out but you'd be shown the door if you were drinking and that includes being oncall.

It depends on the job I guess. I wouldn't do it in case some shit went down and I was sitting in front of my boss smelling like beer.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Not allowed where I work so no. If I came back to work smelling like alcohol I'd soon be standing in the unemployment line.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yeah, I've done it a few times, but I've always been with my boss.

It's a little bigger than a short beer.

A 40 yo!

Once in a blue moon I'll slam one before eating. I wouldn't even feel it if I had it with or after eating. A single beer is a tease. But the biggest reason I would avoid it is if somebody would happen to catch a whiff of a subsequent belch, they would have no way of knowing whether I had 1 or 10. There's plenty of time to drink after work.

i pound 40's before i go to my ethics lecture, because it helps me be more productive.

You will see someday, young grasshoppa.

 

[Kadarin]

We do this every once in a while.

 

[nakedfrog]

At lunch? Don't be ridiculous.


That's when it's time to switch from beer to martinis.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

naw

i keep work and play separate. for me results in both better work and play.

I use to work for a software company that was very liberal. It wasn't looked down upon if you decided to get a beer with your lunch. Heck, there was a guy there that had 6 packs in the crisper of the company fridge. I got to wear jeans and a t-shirt every day. The people there were also very liberal and I can't imagine some of them ever surviving in a conservative corperate culture. There were many freedoms. I miss that place.

Yea I guess I could say this company doesnt really care. The accountant has a fridge in her office that has beer in it, and there is a bottle of Skyy vodka in the freezer in the breakroom. It gets pretty loud in here on fridays.

Why wait til lunch? Irish coffees are a great way to start a day

 

[TangoJuliet]

Nope, I would get fired.
