Should alcohol be served at work?

[Victor]

16 Reasons why alcohol should be
served at work....

1. It's an incentive to show up

2. It leads to more honest communications.

3. It reduces complaints about low pay.

4. Employees tell management what they
think, not what they want to hear.

5. It encourages car pooling.

6. It increases job satisfaction because,
if you have a bad job, you don't care.

7. It eliminates vacations because people
would rather come to work.

8. It makes fellow employees look better.

9. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.

10. Bosses are more likely to hand out
raises when they are wasted.

11. Salary negotiations are a lot more
profitable.

12. Employees work later since there's no
longer a need to relax at the bar.

13. It makes everyone more open with their
ideas.

14. It eliminates the need for employees to
get drunk on their lunch break.

15. Employees no longer need coffee to sober
up.

16. Sitting "bare ass" on the copy machine
will no longer be seen as gross.

We drink at my work all the time. Had a couple beers yesterday at my desk.

can't do it... beer always breaks my "give-a-shitter"....

I know of one company that has beer/liquor (actually has a bar a little after you walk in)...

no booze here, unless it's a staff meeting at the end of the day or a summer BBQ....and I'm not sure I want to design structures half blitzed...LOL!

Back when I DJed in clubs and casinos, I was encouraged to drink on the job. Usually got paid about $250 a night to drink roughly 12 beers and 12 Jager shots, or whatever else.

they don't even allow alcohol at our company parties anymore. so lame. All it takes is a couple of people to fck it up for the rest of us.

in Eurpope it is served at work. At our headquarters in Sweden they have it in the cafeteria on tap for when employees go on lunch break

all i hear about from the older folks here is how they used to get ripped on friday afternoons at work on margaritas. So I suggest bringing that back and I get nothin

I wish it was like Mad Men where I could just keep a bottle on my desk
