Yeah good point. Post was a little over the top.

We have company functions involving booze all the time, but they're outside the office and after hours. The only time we've ever had anything offered while at work is Christmas Eve, they offer a shot of Bailey's for our coffee.

I'm not saying people can't do their jobs after a drink, but being drunk is totally different. If people want to go get plastered at lunch on a Tuesday and come back to work, that's their choice. But it's their dime and those people tend to get fired.

And I totally agree that the Government employees should enjoy the same freedoms and benefits of those in the private sector. If I came to work drunk, or god forbid stoned, I would be fired on the spot.

Nice one! But I have to wonder if four syllables might be a little much for many Sun readers.

Other options:
UNHAPPY HOUR

The only problem is that The Sun would use an even worse angle and timed expression photo to make the Mayor look stupid. This one isn't bad, but it's not Sun-quality just yet.

I have a feeling that this city council will reach American levels of dysfunction by the next election in late 2017.

All of them should be tested for animal tranquilizers for how slow they're moving on getting on with business.

Boy that was a quick leap between your two sentences. The first one is speculation on who he thinks it is, then you quickly solidified that and asked if she really was on drugs.

It wasn't that quick at all. This is an acceptable logic:
  1. Druh says that there are drunken parties naming nobody in particular.
  2. Chu takes vocal offense suggesting that she insinuated him saying:
  3. a) that he, personally, doesn't drink, and
  4. b) that councilors should be tested for drugs.

Is it not a legitimate assumption that he, in turn, is insinuating Druh (or at least one of Druh's coalition members, which are not that many)?
