What would be the acceptability of this in your workplace? For context, which country and industry are you in?

I guess I’m mainly thinking about professional jobs, but interested to hear from. I think in France it would be quite common to have a glass of wine, even at a work canteen or so. But in the UK it seems like people would think that was a problem, and in a lot of cases you’d be in violation of something at work.

    Chef/owner & I’ve stayed away from the ‘glass of wine when you cook’ because I have grown attached to my fingers. I like to relax when I drink, so it’s either when I’m off or after we shut down.

    Currently in Spain, probably going to end my career here and drinking is very different from where I grew up.

    Lunch is at 9am, and it’s common to see people having a beer (followed by coffee)

    People tend to nurse drinks, it’s a more social thing, and if they get buzzed it’s usually low key and don’t get too sloppy- however I’ve seen holiday parties for businesses get everyone wasted…and fiestas all bets are off, lol.

    I love it here.
