Pome 04/09/21 10:59:05 AM #11:	JACKBUTTMOMMY posted... Alcohol is taboo in the states. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a drink at a lunch, work dinner, or event. Maybe even a meeting. But if you need that drink, or if you have more than one drink, if you are drinking at the front desk or while teaching, or are otherwise drunk at work - or had anything while operating heavy machinery or vehicles, obviously there is a problem. And even with those stipulations, society may have a problem with it because again, drinking is taboo in the states or rather - drinking culture is just very bad and other cultures have better relationships with alcohol. Yeah, I think it's true that it's a culture thing. I used to work in Asia and we'd have beer in our fridge and we'd have a glass on our lunch break in the office. Then after work most will still behind for another drink and then go off with the boss for more drinks else where (I usually didn't end up going tho). Solid Snake07 posted... Says the person who doesn't understand why it's frowned upon to drink at work I always drink responsibly. Lots of people can as well. We shouldn't let a few idiots ruin it for the rest of us.

Master Kazuya 04/09/21 1:38:00 PM #36:	Even though alcohol calms the nerves, your nerves are part of your rational mind and help you make decisions. If someone's doing a job, they need to have their natural mind make decisions, process consequences, and know how to improve their weak areas. If alcohol shortcuts that process, there is a high chance they will use it as a shortcut instead of developing themselves. Not to mention tolerance levels. Eventually you will need more to get the same effect and it won't last as long. Alcohol is one of the most addictive substances ever so you are just asking for trouble. I could see some jobs where it would be okay, like a comedian, a streamer, a porn star, a YouTuber, etc where it wouldn't be as bad but the stuff I said still applies even if it's a lesser degree. --- itt my post is the best <cite>Master Kazuya posted [p:952645462] in Why is dri...
