16 People Who May Have Had A Drink Or Two On The Job

We live in a society that has a very strange relationship with alcohol consumption. In our youth, we're expected to get absolutely hammered at parties, proms, sporting events, Eagle Scout retreats, etc. Hell, it's practically encouraged through movies and music and other things that kids these days consume as entertainment. But, magically, you get to be, oh say, 27, and suddenly it's "socially unacceptable" to to helicopter your dick around as a distraction during a friendly game of beer pong at Grandma's 90th birthday! It's kinda strange in a way. Instill a set of behaviors in people when they're at their most impressionable only to punish them for the same behavior later, telling them they should have "grown-up" by now? But I digress, this is not what this article is about.

This is about the one form of drunk that has always been unacceptable: being drunk at work. We tolerate hangovers and the occasional 4:30 scotch with a colleague in the office or the inevitable trashed coworker at the Christmas party, but in today's world (much unlike the '60s ad business), being blotto while on the clock is grounds for very serious reprimands and could possibly cost someone their job, depending on their profession. It's not a joke!

But, like everything in life, just because it isn't a joke doesn't mean we can't have ourselves a damn good chuckle at it. Have a look at these magnificent train wrecks and then pass it along to the person in the office who urinated in their pint glass at the last office shindig!
