... done drugs or drank on the job? Would’ve been unthinkable to me ten years ago but with the amount of professionals snorting on the job you never know.

[caprimint]

No and I don't think I ever would tbh

Definitely not drugs anyway, alcohol... maybe but not actually to the point of being drunk

[Shaun]

Just a beer during a lunch break once or twice, during the summer, really

This.

I've worked in places, a long time ago, where we went to the pub most Fridays lunch times.

[Ant.]

In my third week of college I turned up to lesson stoned (my friends and I tried weed for the first time during the lunch break lmao)

[montblanc]

I would never do such a thing.

[Withano]

Alcohol yes. Several times. Drugs obvs not because i dont follow satan x

[Twosugars]

Both, a lot in my time. At school, at uni and at work

[thesheriff443]

I’ve done a few lemsip’s in my time.

[Strictly Jake]

Literally on the last day before we break up for Christmas I would have a glass or two of baileys before I go. But that would be the only time

[Livia]

Never. If I was to have even a glass of wine with my lunch I'd struggle to stay awake in the afternoon.

[Niamh.]

I've had a few drinks but I was working in a bar, all of us worked split shifts so we'd usually go drinking on the 3 hour break

LOL... Oh right. I remember being 19... going out on Thursday night, coming home at 4am, getting up at 7am to go to work on Friday and then out again most of Friday night... Them were the days. If I tried it now I'd look like I'd been held hostage for a several years.

When are you off to Italy?

My own daughter is 19 now Thankfully she's nothing like I was

Wednesday, can't wait!

[Denver]

Yes I would

[Jake.]

Only on a Friday and even then it’s mostly always one

[joeysteele]

Not at all.

[smudgie]

On the job had a different meaning in these parts back in the day.
So, yes I have been drunk and legless on the job
in that way.

Taking into account that alcohol stays in your system much longer than I realised then I have also gone to work after about an hours sleep and very much full of plonk

I expect it was a lot more common ten years ago than it is now

[bitontheslide]

Working in the city, we would go out and have 4-6 pints, 2 or 3 lunchtimes a week .... that was a while ago though

A few times we just never bothered going back to work as it would have spoiled the vibe

20 years ago maybe but not bang on 2009.

[Vicky.]

Yup. Our manager used to actually sell is the drugs to take at work, so that we had enough energy to do the 16 hour shifts he would stick us on. I can only imagine what it was like for customers woming in to be served and seeing all the staff off their tits gurning away

[Vicky.]

Cocaine is definitely more acceptable these days. Especially among professionals
