Oh right, literally any woman in the field. I don’t want alcohol and work to mix. At best I’m drinking with coworkers at work which is just sad, and the sort of people who want alcohol at work much less a level of booze infrastructure needed to have it on tap aren’t the sort of person I want to be drunk with. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] gnomicutterance@hachyderm.io 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago That’s a great point. I hadn’t even considered the alcoholics who are in recovery or attempting to abstain. Like, I don’t think anyone but active alcoholics or people with serious work life balance issues would want booze on tap at work. As someone who works to have a healthy relationship with alcohol I generally don’t drink at all on work nights (maybe a low or medium abv beer or a glass of wine, but I’m not opening a bottle of wine on a work night for sure). Like yeah, college sure was fun getting drunk on a Tuesday night, but I couldn’t afford to get that drunk, I was drinking with friends, and I was 21 and didn’t get hangovers unless I was dangerously drunk. I’m a grown ass woman with a wife and career now and my body doesn’t handle booze the way it used to. If my job gave me booze I’d want something like a bottle or 6-pack of something decent to enjoy with my wife on a Friday evening, but even then I wouldn’t want alcoholics to feel tempted or left out. In general the less time I spend with coworkers instead of my wife the happier I am. But these concerns must just mean I hate men and fun permalink fedilink source parent
