        Exactly.

            Too true - it's only binge drinking if you actually stop.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

              Not advised

              Drinking during office hours is viewed very unfavourably where I am. Chap went to a meeting with breath smelling of alcohol and was told to go home to sober up. Followed up by 1st e-mail warning next morning.
              However it's OK to go and get slaughtered after work!

                  This is another part of the appeal of Australia, the traditional Friday afternoon beers in the office

                    Rationale

                    Apparently, as the shapely girl from HR told us, it's because while at work, your employer is responsible for your well-being, hence if you fall over and break anything it's their fault, outside the office you can do what you like.
