Being raised by non-drinkers, I'm always a little baffled by people who want a bar in their office. The whole drinking culture is alien to me. I'll have a glass of wine with dinner maybe twice a year, and there's a bottle of cheap wine at home that I'll take a swig from occasionally, but I've never seen the point of drinking more than that. Of course, college students are not the best models of behavior.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I can't have a bar in the office. If I had a drink everytime I needed one in this office, I'd never get any work done.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm just used to sitcoms and whatnot of the '60s where people had bars in their office, so I've always thought it'd be cool.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't even know what Project Rungay is, but it's possible I'm not a fashion target audience.
Most places I've worked have had explicit rules against drinking in the workplace.

Yeah. But once in '95 I had a boss from Australia, who told us it was very common for folks down there to drink on their lunch break. Like, say, three drinks - enough to be noticeably affected.
I wonder if this has changed. bt?

Apparently there's a new show tonight by the writer of Sealab, sounds like it might be up some Buffistas' alley: [link]
Like most of the Adult Swim school of comedy, pop-culture references abound, be they obvious (Krav Maga enthusiast Archer dismisses karate as "the Dane Cook of martial arts"), more obscure (when Archer asks Lana who would want to wear a flaming suit, she replies, "Cosplay enthusiasts!") or both (facing an ironic circumstance, Archer moans, "This is like O Henry and Alanis Morissette had a baby and named it this exact situation!").
