What would be the acceptability of this in your workplace? For context, which country and industry are you in?

I guess I’m mainly thinking about professional jobs, but interested to hear from. I think in France it would be quite common to have a glass of wine, even at a work canteen or so. But in the UK it seems like people would think that was a problem, and in a lot of cases you’d be in violation of something at work.

    I see no problem with a single drink at lunch, specially with your team. It helps you relax and build rapport imo.

    At my previous job, my manager would take our 5-6 people team out for lunch and a beer for anyone’s birthday and at the end of the year. I miss that.

    My current job doesn’t allow it, so going out for lunch with co workers is a little more stiff, and so is my relationship with my manager.

    Last christmas I had to work during the break with only 1 co-worker, we snuck out and had pizza with a berr. It was great.
