I'd like to know in how many other workplaces would it ever have been allowed in the first place?
I can't think of... any job where that would be acceptable. :O

And then it reminded me of how Stephen Colbert drinks alcohol on camera on broadcast TV (albeit late night) and the depth of problems in the industry seems insurmountable.
I think it can be done. But it needs effort. And will people be willing to do the work?

:(
