I don't mean "oh yeah we were hanging out a bit after hours and had a brew" or "yeah we had to come in on a weekend so we brought a six-pack to help ease the time". I don't even mean "lol we got margaritas at lunch and came back a bit buzzed" big whoop who cares. I mean straight-up "it's 10 AM, I hate this company, the rear end in a top hat owners just dumped another shitshow project on us; gently caress this" pulling out a bottle of liquor from your bottom desk drawer and pouring some into your mug. On more than one occasion I remember thinking "drat, I wish I could have another drink, but if I do I won't be sober to drive home at quittin' time." It was a lot of fun and actually usually did make the day go by a lot better, especially if there was stupid bullshit the bosses were dumping on us. Over the course of about a year and a half I managed to drain about two fifths of Knob Creek whiskey at work, although a little of that was shared with others around Christmastime when I brought in a carton of eggnog that I shared and discreetly offered to 'spice up' for some of my work buddies. Aside from the delighted responses to the eggnog, nobody ever commented (that I heard about). I'm glad I have that memory but I hope I don't have another job where I would want to get drunk on the clock. I don't work there any more, because they closed the office after years of making lovely business decisions. Share your work drinking stories.

My boss downs three gin and tonics a day on his lunch break, comes back and writes some pretty decent copy. My co-workers hate it but I don't care, it gets the job done.

Whoa, got a hardcore drinker here. Putting down a bottle every 9 months.

I've never been drunk at any of my jobs, but my friend has a whole process before he goes to work. He smokes a few bowls of weed, takes a few shots of whiskey (usually mount gay), and takes a Xanax before heading to work. How he is still alive after years of doing this I will never understand.

having been an dyed in the wool, on-the-dark-downhill-highway-to-suicide alcoholic, it's nice to hear the "wild and irresponsible" stories of normal moderate drinkers, because when someone was like "man, this one time, i drank to get through my day it was a seriously dark period of my life and im glad it's over" it really grants perspective on all the times i was home alone watching tv and drank until i poo poo myself even though i didn't want to drink at all

I want to drink most days but I think it's due to crushing boredom and depression rather than alcoholism. I dunno though

I've got such a mountain of debt I'd be totally hosed if I got fired for drunkeness; and it'd probably make it tougher to get another job. I did do stuff like that in college though.

One night when I was much younger I had an all night bender finishing around 5am. I woke up on the lounge still drunk realising I had to go to work at 11am. Spent the day trying to not feel so drunk. I think that was the night I got with my ex wife. I make terrible decisions.

i was pretty deep in the bottle a few years ago and it got to the point where id get to work buzzed and go into the bathroom to dry heave before i started my shift. at that time when i was finished id pour out half of my water bottle into the sink and fill the rest with vodka i kept in my backpack, then id drink it throughout the day otherwise id get the shakes it didnt last long because on my way home from work some dude crashed into my car and of course i smelled like alcohol so when the cops came they breathalyzed me and arrested me as i was waiting in the back of the police car they decided to search my car and found like 30 empty handles of vodka in my trunk long story short i was charged with dwi but since the cops never actually saw me driving the charge was dropped. i havent had a drink since and its probably for the best

Does getting blazed count? Because we used to go in the back of the truck and light one up when a customer was really bad.

I used to pour quart into a foam cup every night after the lottery closed (10pm) as that's when business died down, then just boozed until we closed at 12pm.

Nope, booze just depresses the poo poo out of me, but I spent about four years daily consuming crystal meth before, during and after work. Best years of my life, except for the last one which was a living hell, but ya can't win 'em all, right?

No, but one time I was up past 10:00 baking pie so I was really tired the next morning so I had THREE cups of coffee! It was pretty wild. I kept needing to pee and my hands were all shaking but I was crazy productive. Since that day I quit caffeine cold turkey. I still think about my time at rock bottom when when I see that coffee pot and that little voice says "just one cup." Just say no, kids!
