Nothing will change. They banned lunchtime drinking for internal staff at lunchtimes last year and nothing changed - it's too ingrained the culture.
I am surprised people can manage to down vodkas before 9am and still complete a working day - 2 pints at lunch and I'm useless for the rest of the day.

I remember those days
Spent over 6 years working on the Lloyd's Market ..... lunchtime drinking, drifting into all afternoon drinking on a Friday, was commonplace. Those were the days In work for 7/7:30 during the week, throwing down long hours most of the month, then after month end grabbing some of that earned time back in the best way possible. Quite a few of the pubs in and around Lloyd's knew me so well that as soon as I walked into the place my beer would be pulled and waiting for me on the bar
A few of the guys I worked with had liver problems too, and we had our fair share of borderline alcoholics, so maybe this new set of rules is for the best
