Drinking before work?

rocking_noiz

Howya lads,

Right I work in a pretty big club and never worked NYE before. Safe to say, its either going to be good craic or hell (More likely this one!).

A few friends are going out before I have to go to work. I wonder would be safe to have a few pints beforehand?

What would YOU do boardsies!?

Road to ruin. If you're working than go to work without drinking first. Do you drink any other day before work?

rocking_noiz

Nope, wouldn't really think of it!

What's a few to you? 2 and no more would be alright. Anything more and you're running a risk.

Ah no, 2 would be the max.

The more I think about it, the less its really worth it. Probably will get a few drinks after with the people anyway. Not much of a point really.

Depends on what your role in work is / the amount of responsibility you carry. If your a barman, I'd say drink away...enjoy yourself.

If you must drive people or work on a door etc I'd say it be safer not to drink...

Thought the rule of thumb for bar/club staff was.

Quiet pub = drinking on/before the job
Club/busy late bar = Lines in work

In my line of work it's a big no no. As I work with aircraft all sorts of **** can go wrong if you are impaired so no turning up half cut from the night before or even a pint at lunch with your dinner. I think it's in our policy that we have to be 8 hours between last drink and show time .

To be honest I'd just show up for work in a good frame of mind, sober and do your job.. Have somewhere to go afterwards or even just a load of beer in the gaff for when you get back. If anything did go wrong on a busy night, something innocent your fault or otherwise and your manager felt you had a few beers on you things might not fall in your favour to say the least. Anyway if you did you would prob start to feel ropey and hungover halfway through the shift so maybe not worth it... Just my two cents !

Oh don't worry, my responsibility is very little and in no where involves other peoples health!

Yeah, its not worth it at all really. Just load up for after, and if we have the energy, go all night :cool:

May as well not start a trend of drinking before work. It's like people who drink alone, a slippery slope if you ask me..

Not advisable.
