My boss just pulled me aside to talk to me about "my behavior" because we bumped into each other at lunch and he saw me having a beer with my burger. I feel like having a beer at lunch is an incredibly normal thing to do. Obviously fuck my boss but am I wrong here?

Edit: I feel like I should specify in hindsight that I was off company property at a sports bar when I was getting lunch. I was not just sitting in the break room downing a cold one

        I've heard stories about how back in the day when they delivered beer with horse-drawn carriages it was not uncommon for the drivers to get so drunk during the day that they feel asleep and the horse would have to find its way home by itself.

            The PMC dream is privately owned self-driving cars which makes about as little sense as the privately owned cars we have today. But what if instead we had a network of self-driving taxis? You would get shitfaced, then throw yourself into one of them and be driven home while sleeping. I hope we can have that under fully automated luxury communism.

      In my country there is kind of a weird culture around drinking at work. On one hand all the old traditions like having shots of bitters at breakfast on birthdays or having a beer with your lunch has been completely abandoned during the 1990's. On the other hand most workplaces have a culture of drinking "Friday beer" provided by the employer and office parties at Christmas where everyone gets insanely drunk with their bosses and co-workers.
