So the day is finally here
I certainly wont be changing my Good Friday traditions and going down the pub. Nope, its a bag of cans in a mates house as per usual. Only advantage is that I didnt have to plan ahead and go out and buy them earlier tonight :pac:
The publicans seem to think this will be as big as Paddys weekend. I wouldnt be so sure, especially not at 6 lids a pint.
Hubs and a few co-workers are having a gaming tournament in work after office hours. Work is providing a small amount of booze but an offie trip is almost certain. I’m glad that they’ll be able to go get more booze if they want.
To the naysayers who thought that the pressure to end the ban showed up our dependency - no, it just means people can socialise as normal with having to plan ahead.0 -

Yeah, totally get how hard it is to get a few drinks in before the planned event (i'm sure they didn't rock into work this morning and say lets all stay late and play games this evening)... 0 -

Nobody’s going to rock into work in the morning with a bag of cans. AND, they don’t know if they’ll need more booze. The few drinks provided might be enough. So they have the option there depending on how the night develops.
Point completely missed by your good self.0 -

Yeah, I'm really on for bringing cans, and maybe a bottle of spirits, maybe a mixer, into a work environment.
Being able to nip to the shop after work for a couple of cans, and then maybe later if I want more, is a much more grown up decision.0 -

Says more about the attitudes of people towards Alcohol in your workplace than anything.
Shur couldn't just leave it in my locker, we'd have to drink it

Not at all, just ridiculing it because it's a silly point of view that it's hard to plan for a day when it's was widely known alcohol was unavailable for sale.
Not silly at all. What I said makes sense. Nobody knows if it’s going to be a bacchanal or not. Nobody wants to bring booze into work before 9am. There’s freedom now for it to develop how it will. If the ban was still in place, they likely wouldn’t have had this event.
You not wanting to take my point doesn’t make my point a silly one. It more likely just means you’re obdurate.
So shove your ridicule up your chocolate starfish. 0 -
