Two and a half hour lunch with three martinis definitely would shorten up the afternoon.
Darn your sinister attraction!

I would be on the floor. I mean, I drink a lot of wine, but I can't the people shown on Mad Men seemed to be at a pretty steady level of intoxication throughout the day, and yet still be productive.

I would need someone to drive me home. As I get older, I have a lower tolerance for alcohol. I just can't do it.
Barb, I see what you mean, but I would argue that things have been too swift with the sister. Her behavior toward the AA counselor was really bad in the beginning and I'm glad the situation is generally rectified, but she still has that attraction to Rafe. I would have preferred slower growth culminating with her beginning a relationship with the AA counselor at the end of the season. I also wanted the AA counselor in the witness protection program and that's how Mary would have been outed to her family about her job!

Commuter train. Wife picks you up at the station. And hands you a Scotch when you get home.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Commuter train.
With a bar car.

Commuter trains don't escort you from the office to the train station - which I most assuredly would need to do.
I need a limo service with a driver who I can lean on on my way out!

My father worked in the company general office in Chicago in that era. We lived two blocks from the train station and his office was near Union Station.
Of course, he died from complications of alcoholism and emphysema.

We had faux "bar" cars on the LIRR when I used to take it. It was a dude with a cart and he'd roll it off the platform and into the train just before departure.
Though I think it was just beer/wine/soft drinks. No martinis.
