This is why most companies I've worked for have zero drink policies - some even breath test.

ahhh...

I remember those good days.

Don't do it at my current company, but used to at seiko...

I remember returning semi pissed and walking around feeling a bit tipsy

Speaking to other people in the company who could smell the alcohol

I remember a couple of times a few of them had competitions to see who could drink the most in the lunch break

Hilarious taking a sobre office and adding a few drunk people into it... stumbling around, knocking things over, not being able to do their job or answer questions properly! aaaahhhh fridays.

During or 2year hnc we used to go to the pub and one of our m8s was getting the drinks in..but as bit of a wind up he bought another m8 2 pints of guinnis (sp?) each with 3 shots of vodka in. Didnt tell him, and made him down the 2nd pint as we had to get back to class for a maths test...he was pretty wasted, so just stood up half way through n said fuck this then stumbled out

teacher wasnt impressed

We used to do that at the office you came to Paul

The whole office on a friday would go to the pub at 11, get 2 or 3 jars and back by 12

Friday afternoons were always amazing

It's all good. Life as a research student is fun, until you realise that you haven't met your bi-weekly targets and you need to figure out a good excuse as to why... Luckily that asn't happened yet

We've done it at work. Went up to the chippy, got our food then went to the pub near the chippy had our dinner and a pint then back to work.

Then when you get back, you can't be bothered at all

Do it every Friday, just the 2 pints, down at 1 back at 2. Luckily our MD comes down, and he gets tipsy after 2

Always seem to get back and phone clients up that i should have during the week! Alcohol makes it easier to deal with the shit ones!

Makes the afternoon bearable though.
