Do we have a drink problem?

He.

Call me old fashioned/wrong but I maintain that a few beers is probably the easiest way to foster that team spirit that all teams require.

Whilst we're still in the middle of a Spurzzzz love in, it's good to see the Guardian say it's only Villa with the problem.  Can we sue?

That is disgraceful! Drinking from a liqueur bottle? What next? Warninks Advocaat?

Some people are what's known as functioning alcoholics. Unlikely, but he might not yet know it's happening if someone has a serious drink problem. For what it's worth, I think society as a whole has a drink problem. We're told not to drink too much - cue happy hour, 2 for 1 offers etc etc.

Might not be noticable to the naked eye, but a drug & alcohol test, administered on a regular basis, would be infallible.
It's common practice in most professional industries.

I've definitely got a drink problem.

Is it too early for my first beer of the day?

Is it?  What professional industries are you thinking of?  I've worked with surveyors, architects, engineers, solicitors and to a lesser extent accountants and I've never once had, or heard about drug/alcohol tests (my experience is in the UK and Oz).
