My Pops didn't get drunk, and in Chicago usually only the tourists and cabbies drive while in downtown.
Having a beer with Roger Ebert at lunch must have really sucked

So because I've seen these at work several times when stocking and blocking, some kind of curiosity was sparked. For 1.99 on special not bad of a drink wish it had more strawberry flavor though

I worked a temp job years ago where the walls and ceiling were still tinted yellow from cigarette smoke. It seems so surreal to me nowdays to just be sitting at your desk smoking a Marlboro Red.
Anyway, I'm taking a brief hiatus from Jameson for some Tullamore Dew. Quality.

Yum on the Tullamore.
And YAY!!!!! You used the word surreal correctly! You get a no prize.
People had personal bars in their office. There could be a day when people ask "Wait. You actually had coffee stations at work?".
I'm drinking almond milk because my wife is a lunatic and passed on whole milk.
Yuck.

I love the Louis CK bit about office drinking. Seriously, whiskey at friggin 12pm was a regular thing. How are you not napping on the floor by 3:30?

Because it was "time for a drink" not time to get drunk. Example...
"Holy fuck that meeting was brutal. Let's have a drink and a burger". People weren't stressed the fuck out as they had friends, not just snitch ass co-workers.
And that's what I don't get about coffee. I have a straight up caffeine crash in about an hour, yet people say "I'm only on my third cup".

The Man will let you have a mind-altering drug that speeds everything up and increases productivity maaaaaaan, it's all a conspiracy maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! Wake up, sheeple!
Seriously, though. A drink during the day would be awesome.

My Dad works in an office environment and he's said that every now and again him and his workers will go out for lunch and have a pint. The only problem, he says, is that after you've had a drink and a hearty meal it's super hard to get back into a work mindset.
As for myself, I just drank a glass of milk for the first time in probably 10 years. I liked it so much I'm currently sipping another.

Re: What Are You Drinking?
Funny.
There's a high end jewelry store named Bailey's that I visited yesterday during lunch. They're donating a gift for the art museum, and I was there to receive said gift.
Spoke with a gentleman named James, who grew up only blocks away from me in Chicago. He offered me a Heineken, which I graciously accepted, and we shared bon mots. I also greeted the man who sold me my wife's engagement ring and thanked him for his generous deal and informed him on the ring's current appraisal. He saw my Heineken, and said "That would be great right now". I said, "It is lunch time isn't it?".
So James, John and I all enjoyed a cold one while watching ESPN and shooting the breeze. Three dudes in suits enjoying hineys during lunch.
And James was a pistol. I asked him how he got into jewelry sales and his answer was "I was broke and needed a deal on an engagement ring". Duder has a masters in medical biology (or something like that) but it's hard to leave a business where the product sells itself.
Oh, and I'm drinking V-8 this morning.
