  • True/False? Alcohole increases your ability to work.

    Quick one towards the end of my shift. I reached for my water. It's in a plastic cup.

    SC: Is that vodka?
    Me: Why would I drink vodka at work? (I don't even drink alcohol off the clock and I didn't expect the SC to know this part about me.)
    SC: So you can stay awake.
    To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...

    There is a tiny bit of truth in what was said. Vodka WILL keep you awake... if you get the Vodka/Red Bull proportions horribly wrong :P
    Long days, short nights, a bottle of NOS makes it all right.

      Answer: It's Pepto Bismal (or some other colored fluid that your beverage obviously isn't)

          Yes, drink a depressant to stay awake...

              Alcohol for staying awake? Seems pretty much like fucking for virginity to me...
              I still miss my ex.
              But my aim is getting better.

                Nothing like a depressant to chase the blues away!

                  I dunno. I think I've disproved that after a couple beers when I blew away my server's / partition...or at least that my ballmer-peak is a bit further down the graph than .14. :-P

                      "Alcohole" made me think of "Bosshole"TM. As a matter of fact, I do have a co-worker who is known for his consumption of spirits... but eh, guess I can't trademark that one.

                        During our County Fair, after working 16-20 hours, a good beer (or the one on sale) keeps me awake to finish work.

                        I'm always glad when the fair is over with, though.

                          Loki will keep me awake for HOURS but i think that might be the sugar ratio... Honey Meade same, but vodka alone? no... zzzzzzzzzzzzz just thinking about it..
                          tequila is the only booze that is a stimulant...


                          although i did want to post a sign when i worked for the car dealership that read:
                          "Unruly children will be sold to wandering Gypsies for as much Advil and Vodka as it takes to cure the headaches that have been caused"

                          my friend that got me the job, told me it might be a bad idea....

                            Yeah, it stimulates you to do really odd and scary things that you won't remember.

                              Funny - the thing about Loki (yes the drink is named after the Norse god of Mischief for a reason!) is that it'll be some of the best times you won't remember - up side: NO HANGOVER! *does happy dance* - i would know
