Would you have a drink at lunch and then go back to work? (sopuli.xyz)

What would be the acceptability of this in your workplace? For context, which country and industry are you in?

I guess I'm mainly thinking about professional jobs, but interested to hear from. I think in France it would be quite common to have a glass of wine, even at a work canteen or so. But in the UK it seems like people would think that was a problem, and in a lot of cases you'd be in violation of something at work.

Lol, no. I don't drink at all anymore considering how bad it is for your health, but having a drink before returning to work seems like an insanely bad idea.

Chef/owner & I've stayed away from the 'glass of wine when you cook' because I have grown attached to my fingers. I like to relax when I drink, so it's either when I'm off or after we shut down.

Currently in Spain, probably going to end my career here and drinking is very different from where I grew up.

Lunch is at 9am, and it's common to see people having a beer (followed by coffee)

People tend to nurse drinks, it's a more social thing, and if they get buzzed it's usually low key and don't get too sloppy- however I've seen holiday parties for businesses get everyone wasted....and fiestas all bets are off, lol.

I love it here.

Alcohol is bad for you health. Workplaces should be better so folks don’t feel the need to injest poison to tolerate it.

Just one?

No. My job depends on results. Alcohol affects my production. Therefore, drinking on workdays is a very dumb thing for me to do.

Edit: Downvoted because alcohol gives me terrible brain fog and I want to keep my job? Alrighty then…
