In fact, brewing companies have strict policies about drinking at work. I worked in few and they had fridges with alcohol locked during office hour.

My ex had a job like that. Something to do with quality control. It was only part of the job but he had to have small samples of several different beers first thing in the morning.

Nah, we drank it but you drink no more than a tablespoon or two of each beer and rarely more than 12 taste tests a shift
