It used to be OK to drink at work. This is so insane to me I had to check and make sure it was actually true and not just a romanticized memory of life in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Apparently it was not uncommon for men and women to drink while at work especially in an office setting. Most companies didn't have drug and alchohol policies until the late 80's or early 90's although by then openly drinking in the office was frowned upon.
No wonder they didn't worry about objectifying women or the fact that there were no people of colour in the office, they were all too drunk to consider the inequality.
Ahhhh the 50's, what a magical time.
