Eeep! It's one thing to have an accident at home, but at work, the various governing bodies will come down on you like a ton of bricks - on the company too - especially if an empty beer bottle is found.
Back in my youth, bong hits and pints were part of the work day at some jobs I held (hell, even in my 30s while taking a lengthy break from my past and current career), but the world has changed, unfortunately. I miss those days. Oh well, I'm due to retire with a full pension in about 9 years. My wife is half my age, so she can work and I'll ride my bikes and play my guitars and life will be good again.
