It's not part of our (swedens) culture to drink during lunch hours.

If I'm out at lunch I'll indulge in a beer or two... but I obviously don't have a bottle of scotch under my desk or a flask in my pocket [always...

I have done, but I find that even just one pint turns me into an unmotivated skiver who spends more time and energy trying not to work than would normally be used in just getting the job done.

Plus, everyone knows that the point of booze is to turn you into a cross between Oscar Wilde, Bill Hicks and Don Juan, and you can't do that unless you drink your own body weight in the stuff-the constraints of a normal lunch hour don't allow this, and ultimately lead to frustration, tears and erectile dysfunction.

I personally subscribe to the restrain/reward technique, which works thusly: if one can restrain oneself and not dip so much as a toe into the choppy water of the peril that is the lunchtime pint, you are then allowed vis-a-vis karmic law to reward yourself by popping into Sainsbury's on the way home and picking up approximately sixteen times the amount of beer you would have consumed in your lunch hour, and for only fractionally more money. This then allows you to consume beer the way nature intended-in front of the telly/computer/family sans trousers, alternating between orgasmically happy and a crying mess.

You'll know if you've managed to do this properly because you'll awaken at some point to find you can't recall the last six hours, and that some bastard has made loads of calls and sent loads of texts from your mobile-most of them to your superiors at work and members of the opposite sex that you've been having naughty thoughts about. This is not something you need to be concerned about though-they will appreciate the genius that you undoubtedly showed when enjoying your time freed of the responsibility of having any kind of conscience or social responsibility.

Unfortunately, there is the risk that the contents of your stomach will now resemble liquified corpses-corpses that instead of wanting to evacuate your body in one, easy, convenient movement will instead have you living in fear of being any more than 2 feet from a toilet. That, and erectile dysfunction.

Remember kids-drink responsibly.

I used to always drink at lunchtime, kinda grew out of it, but I'm still not averse to the occasional one or two. When the French office came over to visit and we went out for drinks, they were slightly taken aback to find that in every pub we went in (we visited four or five in the office's direct vicinity) at least one of the barstaff came over to say "Hey Rob, how's it going?", or give me a hug, and on one occasion, drinks on the house. Always look after the barstaff and they will look after you.

We had ours last night.
I don't think i sobered up until about 2 this afternoon... at the least, that's when my hangover kicked in.

We never speak of this again.

In Spain, it's very customary to have one glass of beer or wine at lunchtime. And a nice three-course meal.

Think we should move there.

I have to agree wtih PP: I have nothing against partaking at lunchtime, but I'd much rather build up my sobriety during the day and go all out smashing it down after work.

technically what we do is not speaking.

what night of the week was it? I reckon bagging a munter is allowed if it is a Monday or Tuesday.

I make this assertion for no reason at all. cough.
