That has been true of no company I have ever worked at or any I am familiar with. In fact, at all of them, drunkeness oon company property is grounds for immediate dismissal. I'm reminded of a project, some 20 years ago. One of the company VPs came over on Friday afternoon to see the R&D dept and the new gadgets and the regular tour. On one end of the lab was a couple of computer controlled environmental chambers in which temperature, humidity, and air flow could be precisely controlled. He was a little surprised when he looked in the access window and realized that one was set perfectly to keep the pizza hot while the other chilled the beer. Nobody was fired. Wasn't as funny as the time a large group went for a long lunch in which drinks were consumed. Most people decided to just go home. One guy left his keys in his desk and so went back to get them, there was someone in his office so he chatted waiting for the guy#2 to get to the point. He didn't, just proceeded with small talk. Finally the guy#2 asked the other what he wanted, only then did guy#1 realize he was on the wrong hall and that wasn't his office. We still laugh over that one. TP
