How much of a gently caress up are you at work usually? Are you clumsy? Kind of incoherent? If you are then no one will notice as long as you use mints, probably.

Actually getting day drunk when you're on vacation is pretty sweet, by the way. Me and a few friends went to Chicago last summer and spent like, an hour doing tourist poo poo, and the rest of the time going to bars, getting hammered, and wandering the city. Was awesome, highly recommend it.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it

Listen, the real secret to drinking at work is to hide it in plain sight. Get a bar for your office. A compact set with a couple of shelves and a marble or glass top is the most common, although an Italian renaissance-style globe bar can work really well in the right setting. Don't try to make it the centre of the room, just leave it in a corner near the door to your private bathroom or something. It should be at least 20 feet away from your desk, and out of direct sunlight. If your office has floor-to-ceiling windows, try putting it next to a bookcase or armoire.

Keep enough tumblers that you can offer a drink to everyone you're meeting with, although obviously you'll only actually make the offer to other company officers. You'll need to stock a few different whiskeys, at minimum you should have a bourbon and a scotch, preferably in crystal decanters. That way you can accommodate different tastes. Once you've established that the bar is meant for meetings, it will just become another company expense. You can send your PA to the liquor store with the company card any time, and nobody will be the wiser.

What is your job? Obviously the morally acceptable level of inebriation is different for a code jockey than say someone who operates a front loader or drives an ambulance.

This is good advice. If you really wanna get fancy a Tom Collins just smells like lemonade.

thermos of coffee with Evan Williams white label in it. don't start until after lunch. alternatively, vodka tonic or martini in water bottle. breath isn't as much of an issue with those two.

one of my tax professors worked in nyc in the 60s and 70s. they were not allowed to drink vodka because the clients couldn't smell it on their breath and would think they were stupid instead of just drunk.

In the employee handbook where I work they say you can have up to two drinks at lunch. Does a 16 ounce tumbler of boxed wine count as a single drink? I don't know for sure, but I'm going to assume so until someone tells me different.

I'm a whiskey gal myself. I started out with flasks, but then decided those didn't hold near enough so upped my game to plastic sports bottles. Much, much better.
It was nice because there was a liquor store right down the road just in case. Plus, I worked a weird shift and had my own office. All of this helped me steadily increase the amount of alcohol I was drinking on a daily basis, and I was already a lush to begin with.

But for you, I'll give you the advice my grandfather gave me when I was 7: vodka is for alcoholics because no one can smell it on your breath. He was a wise man.

If you are a little baby, you can empty out one of those plastic lemons and put your booze in there like a child.

Oh, I got one of these maybe 12, 13 years ago from eBay:



It was cool because they sent me two for some reason. I got them because they were funny.
They don't hold nearly enough, but might be the right size for you.

They have iPhone-looking ones now. I don't have any experience with iPhones or flasks that look like them so I can't give any insight.
