It's Beer o'clock!

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 6:17 pm

Every Friday at 5pm the boss buys a slab of boags premium a slab of cascade premium and a six pack of some random beer (today it's carlton draught) and a shitload of those little packets of chips/shapes/burger rings, etc.

It's a good way to kick off the weekend.

Who else does something similar to this?

My collegues are all around my age and a few.. let me count.. up to 6 of them will often head out after we finish the beers off.
I work in Carlton so it's not much of a trip to the city.. or wherever else good drinks/music can be found.

similar deal to BRB for me. fridge is full of beer (Crownies, Olds, Coopers Pale and VB though). if the day is long and stressful enough, beers get cracked after 5PM.

Fridays after 5PM are a guaranteed beer o'clock.

Shit.... beer at work? Closest I have ever come to beer at work was when I puked in the back sink after a big night

I like to drink any time of the day, my excuse is that it is always 5pm somewhere in the world.

My boss is a bit of a piss-head so we always get a generous tab at the bar on friday after work... we also finnish at 4 on Fridays. Makes the rest of my weekend very messy as I always get on a roll and go out afterwards... I'm kind of sick of it but it's just so hard to resist free drinks after a week at the office.

This is a good opportunity for me to post an email I got at work:

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel shamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.

Who can argue with all that???

I wish I could drink at work, but being a security guard you have to be on 0.00 while on duty. But I have been known to have one or two with cleaners on the odd occasion lol.

my gran bought me a shirt from the op shop once that said:

"I don't have a drinking problem. I drink, get drunk, fall down, no problem!"

i was like 12.

then i made a Doom II screen print at shcool and i printed it on the back.

it was the best shirt ever. i think i lost it. but most probably someone thieved it cos it was beyond radness.
