just one?

in the office? nah, i wouldnt risk it. all it takes is one snitch and every office has at least one.

While sitting down to eat lunch.

We keep beers in the fridge in the break room

I would never crack one open at lunch at work tho unless everyone else was sipping.

it may not be appropriate in all settings.
but do what if feel if it ain't hurting nobody.

sometimes two

At first, I thought they were testing me when they ordered drinks at lunch. But nope, they'll go hard just because they can.

But I don't know if I would do it solo at lunch. I'd be worried that people might think that I'm consistently drinking at work.

best to double check.

even if it is against policy, the company culture might say otherwise. its against our policy, but nobody really cares.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

I have a couple beers BEFORE I go to work, but I work at night with people who are drinking and am not allowed to drink while on the clock, so I see it as getting myself a little more ready to engage with people. Maybe it sounds odd to be coming down as others are going up, but it's worked for me for years now. Eventually the adrenaline kicks in, I guess.


I would feel really weird if I were in an office on a 9-5 and cracked a beer in the break room for some reason, I suppose general anxiety, but at the same time it would seem painfully obvious I should order a cocktail or beer while out at lunch. I suppose I find it hard not to order a drink before my meal anyway when eating out; even when I wind up at a fast food place, I can't help paying for the combo meal even though I'm going to pour water into my cup rather than soda.

Especially if you're eating. Rock a Mentos afterwards and enjoy.

would it be a “problem”

While I don’t think so I’m definitely asking as a Black man.

Fuck aliens.

Wouldn't do it at the job because something would make me feel like its a set up, but on a lunch break outside go ahead and crack open one or two. Have some mint before you go back so you're good.

If drinking a beer at lunch doesn't impair your productivity, or otherwise put your job in jeopardy, have at it.

there's a lot of places to eat round here that serve.

Don't pull up at the spots your co-workers frequent.

"...Whateva, man..." (c) Redman

I would occasionally take my team to lunch and order a single beer for myself... that was me implicitly condoning them to do the same.

It was all good for awhile, everybody was mature and responsible.

Then I had a new, younger employee that was a lightweight. She had one of those 10-12% beers, got tipsy and went back and bragged to folks in the office (including HR) that she'd had a beer at lunch with me and the rest of my team.

That was the end of that. It's always the one that's least able to manage a liberty that gets it taken away.

but eventually, years down the line, there is always someone who cannot handle the liquor and goes HAM.

As long as you're not coming back shitfaced and unimpaired, you're fine. I've had beer or cocktails at lunch countless times or even grabbed a martini at an early happy hour on an afternoon walk from the office and come back. Hell, the last firm I worked for had an entire bar with all SUPER top shelf booze and beer *in* the office. The only caveat was that if you drank, you couldn't go back to work.

Streets won't let me chill.

if ANYTHING goes wrong later that day, it now includes the line "after drinks"

meaning I do it like real men did it back in the day



functional alcoholism

I've been to a couple of sanctioned work functions/"celebrations" during business hours, and they were okay with people buying drinks at the bar. However, there was the understanding that if you did, you shouldn't come back into the office.

I've also had a beer a couple times at lunch when just catching lunch with co-workers and been fine.

Would be easier to lock-in on work and ignore the office distractions.

I actually love beer with lunch, but almost never do it even though i work for myself... it does tend to reduce productivity in the afternoon (especially with the strong beers I like)
