I gotta cosign the rejection. Beer is like sex, under no circumstances, and at no time or place is having it bad.

There were 4 kinds of ports...9 regular old wines....and the tasting lasted 3 hours. :(
Mostly I'm just jealous I never get to drink on the clock.

I dont know if this applies or not because it's not an office but while I was in the army in Germany we had a lieutenant who thought it would be nice to buy the troops a keg of beer to drink for a christmas party in the barracks. It ended up in a drunken brawl and had us all in deep trouble. I am told that I started it but I dispute that accusation!!!! Anyway the lieutenant bore the brunt of the blame in that fiasco and I skated away scott free!!!!!

So do they monitor what you drink at these things? This is such a foreign concept to me - I've never even gone off site for drinks with a fellow employee let alone had something like this in the office.

We've had this type of thing a few times, and they kind of limit you to two drinks. But I'm not sure that they enforce it.

You guys really work at lame companies.

I've worked at a few places that had a fully stocked bar on premise.

We also work less than 40 hours a week and get 20+ vacation days.

Still lame?

And besides, what's the point if you're drinking wine?
