Drinking at Work

Had a hard night on the sauce last night. Had a few pints at lunch time to sort out the head.

Does anyone else have a few sneakys at lunchtime?

LaVail · 16-08-2011 07:37PM

In before 12 step programme.

chin_grin · 16-08-2011 07:37PM

No, I drive.

Temptamperu · 16-08-2011 07:38PM

I used to have a pint on a friday in my old job, had it with a carvery meal so it dosent really count.

rorymcgrory · 16-08-2011 07:38PM

What and where is this?

16-08-2011 07:38PM

No way.................but probably depends on the type of job a person has

The company I work in manufactures beer cooling gear.

Prototype testing time is a favorite time of mine - we're fairly hot on the R & D for some reason!

Bloody nation of alchos.
Seriously, can you not manage to get through the work day without having "a few sneakys at lunchtime"?

rorymcgrory · 16-08-2011 07:41PM

I'm an Engineer. Desk job. I'm not a cop or lorry driver!

Sky King · 16-08-2011 07:42PM

I'm an engineer as well Rory - just so happens part of my job occasionally entails getting totally shitfaced.

rorymcgrory · 16-08-2011 07:42PM

I had 4 pints of stout and a toasted sandwich. Felt a hell of a lot better than I did before. The lack of sleep (1.5 hours) is what killed me

If you had read the post you would have realised I was dying of a hangover. Its not an everyday thing. Mostly just Mondays:) Tuesday this week though

4 pints at lunchtime :eek: How long is your lunchbreak?

Alco-presenteeism?

rorymcgrory · 16-08-2011 07:46PM

Between 30 mins to an hour. Took the full hour today.

Point being?
So what if it's not every day?
I get maybe once, even twice in your lifetime, but as a regular weekly/monthly thing, it's a bit sad to be honest.

PseudoFamous · 16-08-2011 07:48PM

Did you drive back after your few "sneakys"?

Temptamperu · 16-08-2011 07:49PM

jaysis flutterflye its just a drink. Its not like hes banging gear into his arms.

So the bridge falls down because you missed a decimal point or the medical device fails because you misread a specification.

So drinking a couple of times a month is alcoholism? Wow.

That's not exactly helping your argument

Sky King · 16-08-2011 07:50PM

You most have been pissing all afternoon after 4 pints at lunch

Of course not. Work in city centre. Don't use car at lunchtime

Cillian13 · 16-08-2011 07:51PM

You're not alone anyway. Working in a bar, I sees it all the time.
A lot of the manly male teachers (Engineering/construction teachers) in my old school used go out for a few pints together at lunch time on a Friday.

I'm hardly saying he's the root of all evil!
Just that it reflects our ridiculous relationship with alcohol, that people can't get through their working week without going in for a few pints during lunch time.

Nah nothing of that nature. Besides some of my code was probably better in the afternoon than this morning!

Another team here go for a few on fridays, my bosses boss joins them too. No one minds as long as you dont come back staggering! I always pass on that one due to driving home in the evening

Farting like a ba$tard more like....

Storminateacup · 16-08-2011 07:58PM

I used to bring alcohol into secondary school in a ballygowan water bottle. Never went on the booze while working but sure there's always tomorrow

cosanostra · 16-08-2011 07:59PM

I used to work next to a pub so i would go in on my lunch break daily have 3 or 4 pints and a bite to eat, it never caused me any problems with my boss or at least he never said if it did!

would you cop on to yourself.
get down off your high pedestal, honestly pioneers like you make me sick.
sure what harm does a few drops of sauce do to a man ?

you need to go down to the pub, get a few pints in you and get a big bloke to take you home and ride the f*ck out of you, it might make a change from you having a stick constantly jammed up your ar*e.
