Do you think my co-workers will care if I bring a can of beer for lunch everyday?

Question

Just 1 can. To go along with my sandwich.

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Your Boss would care.

Answer 3

Just use good manners: i.e. no dunking , slurping, burping, etc.

And recycle the can afterwards.

Answer 4

Wrap it in aluminum foil like you did your sodas in High School...  Ideally, if you can say "HHHHHHi my name is HHHHHHHarry" and nobody can smell it... its all good.

Answer 5

it's frowned upon

Answer 6

In general, Americans aren't too keen on drinking at lunchtime. I'd see what your co-workers do before you decide.

Answer 7

I can appreciate what you are saying. I like to have a beer with a sandwich but I wouldn't do it at work. Some people get the wrong idea , like you're an alcoholic or something. It's generally best not to draw negative attention to yourself while on the job.

Answer 8

While I do not see any reason your co-workers would care  unless they could not have beer also or if you are a rude drinking (slurping, belching). Howver, I would think your boss and management would care as it is generally not allowed at a workplace.  Workers comp liability issues.  If you get hurt at work you have to take urinalysis and if alcohol or illegal substances are found you lose workmans comp claim and generally are terminated on spot....no job, no money and you are injured.....

In todays society in USA even having a drink at a restaurant during a business lunch or meeting is frowned upon.  

Employers do not like seeing employees drinking on the job.....

But check with your boss and if he says OK, go for it....he may want you to bring him one also.

Answer 9

He11 Ya!

You have to bring enough to share once in a while

Answer 10

I wouldn't mind.  But I'd appreciate it if you'd also bring a breath mint for when you were done. :)

Answer 11

Depends on the company policy of your work place.

Answer 12

No. You know you are not suppose to drink at the job at all.

Answer 13

Just drink an extra couple with breakfast.  That should hold you over until you get out of work! ;)

Answer 14

i personally would care.

bringing a can of beer to lunch makes it okay for othe rpeople to bring alcohol into the work place.

and even if its one can, different people are affected differently by alcohol.

i dont think its a good idea.

if you cant just wait until you get home then that's pretty bad.

bring a bottle of water. HEALTHIER.

Answer 15

Ha, where do you work?

Answer 16

depends on the company..I once worked with a guy who got himself fired for drinking a beer at work.

Answer 17

Cute ...
