43. Would you support that in a company policy?
Do you believe that employers have a right to dictate the behavior of their employees when they are NOT at work or on company property?

So long as I don't try to drink it at my desk, and I don't come back to work drunk, how is it my employers business?

And yes, for what it's worth, my employer does prohibit the consumption of alcohol during work hours. Luckily, I'm not paid for lunch, so it's not a work hour.
