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.
