Its relatively normal in Europe to grab a drink on your lunch break. Or at least it was a decade or two ago when my dad worked there.

    Maybe it has changed but it was recounted to me as "drinking" and "getting drunk" but from his puritan American eyes that could be 1 drink

    Okay but the image you posted is not someone puritanically considering 1 lunch beer to be inappropriate when returning to work after, they are quite reasonably considering 4 lunch beers inappropriate

    Lol so if he drank 12 beers would your response be "I didn't know there was a hard cap at 11?"

    Nobody said anything about a hard cap but 4 beers on a single lunch break is pretty far from the norm of what one can reasonably expect not to get shit about.
