Drinking culture.

In industry we have bans in place regarding drinking and drugs in the work place and this is now the norm. Gone mostly are the liquid lunches of old. (Yes in some white collar it’s still hanging on.)

Our MP’s tea rooms ( bars) with subsidised drinks are open all day. We now find the very centre of government no 10 has wine Friday and any other day they feel like it. Other Whitehall offices admit to parties and drinking at work. Then the likes of Liz truss spending £3500 on expensive wine filled lunches for meetings. (I’m not singling out Liz as they’re all at it. ) Surely on that point Whitehall has enough catering and fabulous dining rooms to allow for any hospitality to be kept in house and cheaper.

My main point however is should we be expecting our government institutions to stop the obviously constant drinking at work culture?

I agree but remember in industry we stopped the dinnertime drinking because after lunch we were back on the lathes in machine shops, or working on chemical plant or refineries. And serious accidents were occurring. What’s the worst a tipsy office bod will do? Fall off a chair or staple their jacket to a desk.

Used to get pissed in Kitchens every now and then. Especially xmas day. My old head chef used to fall down the stairs pissed before service. As soon as service started he was a machine

People still do. Its quite common to have a drink while doing a deep clean for example or at team meetings if they where after service

The government should start doing something about this culture.I am self employed and a political activist.I made a point many years ago to drink soft drinks,tea or coffee and to watch what I eat.

Frankly the majority of the country has a problem with drinking culture not just business ..

These people are agreeing deals and making decisions that affect you and your family long term. I’m not worried about their safety. I’m worried about ours.

the tory preference to quaff and gorge themselves like so many 'mr. creosote's', whilst the plebs die in hospital corridors and parked ambulances, rather than undertake what they are paid to do by us and provide a health service fit for purpose is utterly disgusting yet it remains unsurprising for such an incompetent bunch of d*unks.
