Just was asked if I wanted a beer (1 Viewer)

You should of made up an excuse like you can't because your kidney stones. Now your boss will never trust you.

 
some people drink pretty much every Friday afternoon at my office

All I can think of is the scene from Horrible Bosses where Spacey offers a drink to Bateman and insists he has it or he'll be insulted and then later says he drinks at work as a reason not to promote him.

 
Seems like you need to manifest a Sheik between crazy party Sheik and %^&*@! Sheik. That Sheik probably could have accepted a drink and hung out.

Edit: man, even British slang semi-profanity is blocked out here. That's total bollocks.

Fixed.

I thought everyone drank at work. Isn't that why vodka looks like water? :oldunsure:
You buy a stainless steel water bottle and then it doesn't matter.
This is what I use. Most of the time water is in there, but not all the time. :mellow: link

You declined? I thought I knew you, man, I thought I knew you.
:lol:

Sheik from years ago would have not only drank a beer, he would have led the charge of followers out to the bars until they kicked us out at 2:30 am. But Sheik was unemployed for almost two years. So the new Sheik (now with family action!) treads a little more lightly in corporate environments.
You need to learn how to have just one or two during such events. And how could there be this party without you knowing about it ahead of time? Odd.
I knew there was a party but I did not realize there was alcohol there. Our office is kind of split into three parts and I'm off in a wing where I don't run into people that much. It works for me because I hate people. :shrug:

Are you an alcoholic? You can't just relax and have one beer? It's all or none?
Not at all. Back in the day I was a huge drinker. But over the past decade or so I've really just slowed down my drinking to almost a crawl. I'll have some beers if we're out at a party or something, or at dinner I'll drink whiskey. But I probably only drink once every 2 months or so. Not for any reason, really. Just got bored with drinking so much.

 
Drinking beer at work with a bunch of hot, young women? That's your guy's idea of a good time? Wait. Nope. I just heard it out loud. I'm an idiot.

 
Good for you! What self-reapecting, blue-blooded, American mam would want a beer after a hard day's work?! Those guys are ten hairs from being apes!

 
I'm with IS. I used to be the party. If we were going out I was probably going to outlast, outdrink, out whatever, whoever was there. I can't count the number of lost 3 day weekends spent in permanent party mode. But then I got a DUI. It made me question who was in charge me or the party? I decided it had to be me. In the 20 years since my DUI I have become the DD. People are amazed when one of my former party partners starts telling tales. People actually think they are lying on me. They aren't. I have not had even a single drink when I am going to drive since that day. And I drink very sparingly if at all. Literally been years since I have had a drink. I would certainly not drink at a company function.

 
I work for a manufacturing company. Carl bet a few of us $100 he could run through our automatic sand blaster. Didn't make it. ####### welcher.

 
I'm at work and a co-worker asked if I wanted a beer. I laughed and he said, "No. Seriously. There's a couple kegs in the breakroom."

When I asked why he said they're having a going away party for one of the executives. Apparently she's leaving the company.

So I walked down there and sure enough there's a bunch of people sitting around two little kegs in small tubs of ice. My boss' boss saw me and said, "Do you want a beer?"

All I could think of was Admiral Ackbar. I politely declined and went back to my desk. I wonder if they'll have the leftover beer still in there around noon tomorrow. :whistle:
Cut the power with your magic power switch. Freak out, claim it's a terrorist attack or something, watch everyone run as you stay and get stinking drunk.

Also maybe let the hottest female co-worker in on the gag.

This was thread worthy?
Does every thread have to be a thread about politics and arguments? Just trying to add some levity to the FFA. My bad.
Nothing wrong with being offered a beer. I think everyone should post a new thread when they are offered one.
Oh will you #### and take it somewhere else. Christ. It's no coincidence you're one of the last people I'd want to have beer with and you're in here whining like female dog about a thread about beer.

Why would I want to drink a beer with you after this tirade at 10 am in the morning?

IT'S A MESSAGE BOARD.

Why is it you can't handle that?

 
BTW, I was just asked if I wanted a cup of coffee. Can I post this here? TIA
Please go drink a cup of bleach.
Sorry man, my shtick might be a little rusty after being away for a few from reading your epic takes on whatever the hell the FFA topic du jour of the day is. Hell, I even got another warning point while not even logged in, lol. How the hell can one do that?

Getting a warning point while in absentia has to be a first around here.

Take it easy Shirley. It will be noon soon here on the West Coast. That means Jameson time for me. For you? Hell, who cares?

I wouldn't worry that seems to be his new shtick.
Old or new, just an eyesore.

Drummer- You know you don't have to click on every thread, right?

My first day on my current job my boss was taking me out to lunch. I was bewildered when he chose Chili's until he dropped this on me:

Boss: Now's probably a good time to mention that the policy allows for two drinks at lunch.

Me: Great!

Boss: And if I'm buying lunch, it's a two drink minimum.

Me: HAH... sounds good to me

Boss: And it's always happy hour at Chilis, two for one beers... So four counts as two...

4 20oz beers later we're heading back to work to introduce me to the team that will work for me.

That's some old school stuff there. When I was a young pup just starting out it wasn't at all unusual for everyone to have a drink or two with lunch. Now not so much. Can't remember the last business lunch I went on where anyone ordered alcohol.
