I've been watching my alcohol intake for dietary reasons. I've been limiting my consumption to a small half glass of Vodka, or a shot or two of Bourbon. Alcohol just doesn't do well with the gains I want to make working out. It contributes to sugar and fat, which I want to avoid for another month or so. As a result I've been fiending for a beer in the worst way. Where I work, there are plenty of places one can go to during lunch hours to get a drink. Every now and then I flirt with stopping somewhere and drinking a Heineken or two. Is this acceptable to do so during lunch hours in the work week? A little over a decade ago I was working at a plant, and our boss treated us to a lunch at a tavern. There was a half dozen or so of us. Everyone minus myself, got beers. I was underage for one thing, plus the JW background was kicking in. There was another dude who was underage too, matter fact the boss' son. He ordered a beer too! I felt like a lame for doing that back then, but after a good decade of being legal and drinking my fair share I've since forgotten about that.
Again, is it socially and even professionally acceptable to drink a beer or two during lunch hours?
