In which we address drinking in the office.

S came home from her job interview today.

S: So, they drink on occasion there.
M: Oh yeah?
S: Yeah. I’m not sure I can take that.
M: Well, lots of companies have parties and things on special occasions. I doubt they are going to force you to drink, you are only nineteen after all.
S: But they could! Like a dress code or something.
M: Yeah, right after “professional dress and grooming,” “employees must remain drunk during business hours.”
