In the 60s guys used to have “three martini” lunches. I had three martinis tonight and I was properly drunk.

Martinis are like boobs, one is not enough and three is too many

Heck my law professor said he used to do this working in big law in NY in thr ‘90s.
-One martini before apps
-One more during the meal
-One post meal
He looked like a borderline alcoholic

Work on that tolerance, boys. 😁

The only way I go into the office is if I'm going to have 90 minutes carved out for lunch and drinks are being had.

During lockdown when WFH was new and the future was uncertain I used to have two beers with lunch and an afternoon beer around 5, then do wine with dinner and sometimes bourbon if I was working late. It’s a good thing I was only doing due-diligence and not working on any of our Covid-relief stuff, or we’d all still be locked up.
