I've had a few offices of my own, a few businesses, but I never kept bourbon in the bottom drawer of my desk, or had a built in bar in my office. When I was in sales I was never offered a drink in an office. I once owned a bar, and rarely drank at my own bar. Years ago, at Christmas, many salesmen brought us a "bottle" of one thing or another as a Christmas present. But that died out, even in-house parties where alcohol was served were going by the wayside.
Why, who and how, was the decision made to glamorize "drinking?"
Cheers, and other shows, have used bars and taverns as their sets, developed shows around the drinking environment.
Just watching a JAG rerun. Big decision being made, SECNAV is meeting with an Admiral about a new head man for JAG. Nice office, plush surroundings, they are drinking 18 year old bourbon. And not just drinking it, thoroughly relishing and enjoying the experience.
I have an occasional drink these days, in my time possibly have spilled more than many have consumed, so I am not a member of the WCTU. I do have an old pin of theirs that belonged to my Grandmother.
I just wondered who started this all????
