Drinking cans at work

trodsky

Really rough weekend on the beer. Friday sat and all day yesterday on a stag.

I'm tucking into cans of Heineken all morning just to keep the monkeys at bay.

Anyone else do this? Feel like a right dipso!

I agree with you that it is the best cure to have one or two beers the next day, but in work is a little borderline.

Unless of course you work in the public sector.

This is what's wrong with Ireland, bloke gets so off his trolley all weekend that the only cure is to drink more.

You sir are a disgrace and I can tell you if you worked for me you would be fired.

Someone needs a can of beer I think.

In fairness though OP, drinking cans at work is a disgrace. Go to the pub and think about what you've done.

Have you a better hangover cure? OP seems more than reasonable to me, I mean, it was a stag after all.

Of course, because nurses and firemen are well known for starting the working day by drinking a few cans.

You absolute cabbage.

No, nobody else does this. Yes, you are a right dipso... and an attention whore. Good luck with that.

What happened to manning up and dealing with a hangover?

Puff.

admiralofthefleet

i remember a few years ago me and the brother and another chap went to the north on a booze cruise at christmas. i ended up bringing 3 boxes of 20 carlsberg export into work and putting them in the fridge.
me and the other chef were having them for breakfast and were twisted by midday when service began. the bottles only lasted about 3 days

cloptrop

Better off just turning up saying your sick and go pub or home to bed . In my experience this is the best option for when you just cant handle a hangover.
But jesus man up . Youve got a tiger by the tail let it go and its pure blown no job alcoholism.

TwoTokeTommy

I find it's the exhaustion after a serious night on the tear that's the killer... from getting up to getting through the day, I pray on being still a little bit drunk in work, otherwise it's agony!

mr bungle.

Yeah the only ones that work, or rather are employed, in the the public sector are nurses, firemen and oh yeah the ones you forgot, the guards. :rolleyes:

This is not a fooking thread discussing the cushy unfirable many allowanced public sector workers so no need to drag out the usual sacred cows. :mad:

If you have a job where you are not responsible for anothers life or are not doing work which could down the road hurt someone if done incorrectly then i dont give a crap if you have a few cans.

But you say you are an engineer. That could mean anything but in all likelihood you could hurt others then you are a tosser.

Yes my work can have a serious effect on people's safety. This is why I would never do anything productive whilst consuming alcohol. I left at 2pm and will be back in tomorrow nice and fresh for some real work.

This has happened me about 5 times in the last 8 years.

If you ever find yourself saying "I'll just have a quick nip to get myself straight" at any point during a working day, then you should probably give up drinking.

That's incredibly reckless of you, as an engineer you should never drink and derive.

I used to drink a flagon, had it up on the desk as I put air purifiers together.

Something not right about drinking in the morning, but remember OP, it's 5 o clock somewhere.

And someone is probably doing the same job as you wherever that is. And doing it well. Sober.

That is problem drinking, normal drinkers just don't do that.

I never drink to cure a hangover, it doesn't cure it does it? Just like delaying the inevitable really.

Not really. A few cans settle the body so you body still is recovering but the few extra cans doesnt cause you further hangover.

Its a proven method.

The only issue is that generally the day after a heavy session people have stuff to do so you cant just have a few cans and get on with your day.

Ill do it if i dont intend on leaving the house.

danslevent

May try it some time so! But usually if I'm hungover the thoughts, smell and even mention of alcohol is pretty unwanted. I feel so dehydrated the thoughts of putting even more dehydrating liquid into me...sick.

Never believed in hair of the dog, until I was at an all night party. Woke up around 6am to go home, the worst thumping headache you could imagine. Was told to have a glass of beer, which I did and by jaysus did it work. Went straight to bed as my thumping headache went away after that glass of beer.

Thank you mammy!
