    Five pint lunch

    Would you even bother going back to work after five Hobgoblins?

    Sometimes it's like my office is in a time warp. Or is lunchtime drinking acceptable elsewhere as a client development tool?

    Fifteen days til I leave..... or not sure which.

    The last time I remember when drinking during lunch was considered OK was back in the 80's. So yes, your office is in a time warp. We were instructed that if we had too many, five hobgoblins is probably boarder line, to not return to work and make an idiot out of yourself. Now, even a beer is frowned upon. If you're working on client development, the rules are a little more Lax

      5 UK pints = 6 US pints

      Hobgoblin isn't particularly weak, 4.5% I think. I'd be hammered if I drank that much. #joysofparenthood

        The key to drinking on your lunch hour is to get your boss to go with you so he is equally guilty and can't get upset about it.

            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat.

              I wouldn't be able to work well with 5.

              I occasionally have 1-2 Friday early evening and then go work for a bit afterwards. But this isn't my best.

                Yep application development and programming don't really go well with drinking.

                      a few jibs back.....

                      we had a hard week at work, so we went out for pizza, which then lead to beer, we were having a grand time till we saw the boss stroll in
                      You could hear a pin drop, till he bought the next round

                      last time I ever drank on the job

                        The ones in my fridge say 5.2%.

                          5.2 in bottles, 4.5 on draught. I assumed draught in a pub, but of course it is stupid to assume.

                              I doubt I have ever imbibed five pints of anything at one sitting (no s******s at the back, thank you).
