Its an offence to come to the workplace intoxicated in Australia if you are a Commonwealth public servant.

Oh lighten up Phoenix…a nut case shot some one so it had to be the booze lets just blame the booze for everything…plenty of nut cases have shot people without a drop of booze.
Your forgetting rum was standard issue to all serving military personal throughout the empire and 2 cans of beer…apart from the fact you cant well maybe you can get drunk on two cans of beer it was standard issue 2 cans per day to Australian soldiers serving in Vietnam.
Besides did you notice the news article was saying the outcry was that the soldiers would be slugged 5 dollars per can also with a 2 can limit…it was not that they could or couldn’t have beer.
Just for the record I have worked for large corporations and government departments and had a light beer for Christmas break-ups
so I don’t know what wowser…read wanker…major corporation you work for.

If you are risking your life for your country surely a couple of beers wouldn't matter.There are moments when people do break protocol sometime but it's not an open order to get drunk or pissed."Ido not want an uprising of people that would leave me at the first failure, I want revolution with citizens able to bear all the temptations to a prolonged struggle, what, because of the fierce political conditions, will be our guide or cattle to the slaughterhouse"

It's not an issue of having no grog in the workplace - originally they were going to make them pay for it (hence still grog around).
BTW I show up to work hungover/still drunk all the time. and quite often drink at lunch.

OM, anyone that comes back to work after ingesting alcohol for lunch in one particular government workplace, or is known to have had any alcohol at lunch, and then proceeds to continue working, will be dismissed, if you want to know which one, PM me and I will tell you"The moral revolution - the revolution of the mind, heart and soul of an enslaved people, is our greatest task."__________________Gotse DelchevComment

Julie ofcourse any work place will kick you if you have had alcohol on the job as it is law but not at Christmas…or as it is becoming popularly known end of year…break-up party and that’s what they real are talking about. Hell even I would fire someone if they came in liquored up…except Bij oti nasha e.
Although when I have a day off for all my skippiness I like the old Maco village tradition of a heart starter…edna rakija…topla in winter…I figure by Aussie morning its gotta be after 5 in Macedonia…followed by a double gorko coffee.
By the way don’t forget to have a dink today Sveti Nikola e.Comment

Nothing has changed in the ADF, its always been a 2 beers per man culture but its something that the defence force doesn't encourage (FOR OBVIOUS REASONS)...the rest has been a media beat-up and a publicity stunt by a particular brewery that was seen as coming to the rescue of our "thirsty" and "hard done by" diggers...
Now the other argument about drinking on the job is relevent only by determining the type of work you undertake, clearly vocations involved in driving and operating heavy equipment/machinery etc, law enforcement, those occupations promoting a professional image and the like would have far stricter alcohol at work policies than your average chicken shit operation that turns a blind eye to their workforce being pissed on the job or constantly hungover...Comment

apparently the diggers have to pay for beer at $5 a pop."Ido not want an uprising of people that would leave me at the first failure, I want revolution with citizens able to bear all the temptations to a prolonged struggle, what, because of the fierce political conditions, will be our guide or cattle to the slaughterhouse"
