This has got nothing to do with the thread
but I've got an emergency on my hands. I've just eaten my packed lunch and am STILL HUNGRY. The three pints at lunchtime may be the culprits. Suggestions.

drinking during lunch
is the mark of a true gentleman and a scholar.

true gentleman and a scholar n alcoholic

bollocks, right there.
Being alcoholic has nothing to do with how much you drink and everything to do with why you drink.

everyone has a reason to drink

Coz it's both big and clever.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 14:36, Reply)

exactly.
what that reason is dictates whether you have a problem or not.

My reason was that I was meeting a friend and we both like beer

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 14:38, Reply)

mmm. beer.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 14:41, Reply)

right-o
I don't see any reason in drinking 4 pints on my lunch break
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 14:38, Reply)

No-one is saying you have to, m'dear.
but it can be done without being an alcomaholic.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 14:41, Reply)

how can you even work after that?
i'm not saying he's an alcoholic, i've done my fair share of day drinking, but not while i'm working or when i have to go back to work
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 14:44, Reply)

Some people can, some can't
Depends what I'm doing as to whether I can work after booze. I tend to work a lot late into the evenings and I tend to have a bit of wine while I'm doing it, but some stuff, I agree, I couldn't do after booze. Horses for courses, innit?

four pints isn't excessive

you're drunk, you don't know what you're saying

arf.

don't bark at me

perhaps not in a regular setting
I just think you shouldn't drink when you're working
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 14:57, Reply)

I've been led to believe that the drinking culture in America
is such that anyone ingesting more than two drinks in a sitting gets a talking to from their friends about having a problem.

Apologies if this is not the case
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 15:13, Reply)

it's not
I drink more than anyone I know, and I drink anytime I want to
it's just my opinion that you shouldn't drink while you're working

Vending machine crisps and chocolate.
If you're lucky, the crisps will be slightly chilled.

You shouldn't drink
before or during work. HSE, don't you know?

I'm hungry too. I think I'm going to have a break and go to Sainsbury's, but I don't know what I fancy.

I think that only applies to anyone handling machinery
or something that risks your safety or others, doesn't it?

I mean, a bus driver probably shouldn't have a few pints at lunchtime, but I dare say someone in HR probably needs it.

You're like an accuracy-ometer
I can do my job entirely at my own pace and am capable of managing my workload to accomodate booze. And I walk home.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 14:37, Reply)

No, I'm on my PC and can't do it for HSE
as I could design something wrong or choose the wrong vendor, and make things explode.

If your company put it in your contract T&Cs then, sure
but I'm pretty sure there is nothing in the health and safety at work act that expressly forbids it.
