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.

Lol, no. I don't drink at all anymore considering how bad it is for your health, but having a drink before returning to work seems like an insanely bad idea.

Alcohol is bad for you health. Workplaces should be better so folks don’t feel the need to injest poison to tolerate it.

No. My job depends on results. Alcohol affects my production. Therefore, drinking on workdays is a very dumb thing for me to do.

Edit: Downvoted because alcohol gives me terrible brain fog and I want to keep my job? Alrighty then…
