Here's a trick I learned at work.

Fill a water glass with a few ice cubes and some Apple Juice. Openly drink it in front of your coworkers and playfully slur a few words and stumble around a little. When they ask what you're drinking tell them, "It's just a little bourbon.", then immediately fess up and say, "Just kidding. It's really Apple Juice."

After a couple of weeks of this, you will be able to sit at your desk and sip bourbon, and no one will question you.

2. I wouldn't go that far.

Unless you could somehow figure a way to charge the bourbon to your expense report.

3. LOL

That's a good plan.

It's like the time I was laying out lines on my desk and they asked what it was. I told them it was just some nasal medicine the doctor supplied and after a few weeks, I was kicking back, getting high and listening to the "Young Americans" album over and over and they had no clue. :thumbsup:

6. Were you able to use your prescription plan?

'Cause if you could get away with buying a g for only a $10 copay, that would be excellent.

8. Had a friend who did that with ice water and vodka

He was the announcer at the local racetrack and he kept a big jug of vodka in the little frig in the announcer's booth.

One night, he got so plastered that during a big race, he started screaming, "Look at that fucker fly!" as they came down the stretch.

His job didn't survive that faux pas but he's now a member of the Board of Selectman. Go figure. :eyes:
