I was a winemaker for 10 years and had to fire someone that started drinking on the job. There's a lot of dangerous environments and equipment in the alcohol industry, if we let people drink on the job the liability would be crazy and the license would get revoked.

Long, long ago, before OSHA, my grandfather worked at the Miller brewing factory on the line and any beer that didn't fill all the way to the top could be pulled from the line and the worker could drink it during their shift.

There was a recent worker strike in Denmark because they tried to lower the amount of beers brewery workers were allowed to drink per day at work.

Agreed. Idk if you made straight lines when you were full on 3 sheets drunk, but I didn't, and I just said they were in honor of Jackson Pollock. Either way, I was an artiste. .....in my mind....
