I drink on the job from time to time. The programming I am required to do is rarely challenging, its maintaining and expanding a system I know inside and out.

I drink on the job from time to time. The programming I am required to do is rarely challenging, its maintaining and expanding a system I know inside and out.
Sometimes it reaches lunch time, I have some dull task to finish, motivation is leaving the body. The cure. A whisky. Definitely not to get to drunk, just to get the juices flowing.
I find my productivity greatly improves when I get a small buzz. I find the quality of my work stay's the same as I never drink enough to truly impair judgement. It would be win / win but I feel the negative connotations of drinking of the job means this isn't really something I should be talking about.
