    Yeah. All of that.

    I did work for a company that explicitly allowed drinking at the office.

    Curiously, they said that once you started drinking, you we no longer allowed to do any work. The policy did allow office parties, at least.

    Sadly, they're out of business now.

    I think I'd be a helluva lot happier if I could drink at work! Then I wouldn't have to do Yahoo Answers to entertain myself.

  • lol. I'm gonna have to pass around a petition here in the office.
