Used to drink in my recruiting office while making nightly phone calls. I had my own office, closed the door and hit the phones.

Not really but we always have beer and bourbon around so it's not frowned upon to grab a beer while working on Friday afternoon or while watching a game for a few minutes (we'll put on Masters, March Madness, etc. in the conference rooms).

I believe it. I'm 99% sure my recruiter was strung out on heroin.

Had a guy I checked in with pop for meth. Another guy a very good friend of mine was two stations away and he popped for Adderall.

It's not a fun life.

For most of my life I never understood why someone would do this.

Eat lunch with the owners on Fridays.

Normally, go to a place that has lots of beer.

For those that do, what kind of jobs do you work?

My first job out of college was working for a recruiting company with a bunch of other kids under 25, we’d drink a lot on friday afternoons in the office but that’s it.

Since that time, I’ve worked for 2 large corps in O/G over the past ten years and have never done it

No. Drinking is for relaxing and fun. Work is for kicking arse. Two totally different mindsets to me.
