While most companies refrain from allowing consumption of alcohol on the premises, there are some good arguments for changing that policy. Reasons for allowing drinking at work include:

  - It's an incentive to show up.
  - It reduces stress.
  - It leads to more honest communications.
  - It reduces complaints about low pay.
  - It cuts down on time off because you can work with a hangover.
  - Employees tell management what they think, not what management wants to hear.
  - It helps save on heating costs in the winter.
  - It encourages carpooling.
  - Increases job satisfaction because if you have a bad job you don't care.
  - It eliminates vacations because people would rather  come to work.
  - It makes fellow employees look better.
  - It makes the cafeteria food taste better.
  - Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.
  - Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable.
  - Suddenly, farting during a meeting isn't so embarrassing.
  - No one will remember your strip act at the Christmas Party.
