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

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

right-o

No-one is saying you have to, m'dear.
but it can be done without being an alcomaholic.

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

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?

perhaps not in a regular setting
I just think you shouldn't drink when you're working

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
