Drinking at Lunch
Anybody grab a drink or three at lunch on a weekday? If so, how does it affect you the rest of the afternoon? What do you drink? Why?

For me, I have my own office. If I don't have a court hearing or have to visit a client in jail, I am likely to grab a drink on Friday afternoon with some friends. Late lunch/early happy hour, say, 1:30-2:00 ish.

Usually it means that the rest of the afternoon is shot (no pun intended), which is why I don't do it every day. There are a few good bars within a couple blocks of my office. Best is Sullivan's Steakhouse.* And Friday afternoon, grabbing a good steak, some wine and a glass of bourbon is a good way to pass the time.

Today, a buddy's dad was in town and we grabbed lunch a little early and included a couple of glasses of wine and it got me wondering who else likes to imbibe at noon. So, what's your poison on a weekday afternoon?

* I know there's one in Leawood. It's a decent steakhouse but I remember the Plaza III as being much better. I remember going to Jess & Jim's before it burned down. Golden Ox was also good. It was closed but last time I was in KC it had re-opened but I don't know if it is still open. So Sullivan's may not be the best steakhouse in KC but my state is known more for seafood than steak so I take what I can get.

I keep all booze out of the workplace. I've got too much to lose.

Coincidentally, when I started at Cabela's they wanted me to get there earlier than I wanted so we could do an office retreat. Cool. We golfed and when we were done, we stopped by the clubhouse for drinks, it was like 3:30, I'm on the clock, it's my first day, and I have no idea whether I should grab a brew and everybody piled behind me in line.

I decided to hit the head. When I came out the Director had a beer, so I decided it was OK LOL.

Wait, when did Jess & Jim's burn down? When I was in high school, I fried chicken at the sister restaurant up the street, RC's. The Van Noy family is awesome.

That's not "drinking at lunch", that's taking Friday afternoon off.

I don't know. Last time I was in KC I wanted to go there but my uncle told me it had burned down. If he was wrong then I'm going back next time I'm there.

Jess and Jim's is still there. I don't recall anything about a fire.

Are you sure you didn't mean the Hereford House downtown?

Yeah, that sounds more like what took place.

I don't touch alcohol at work at all, but I'm also a terrible person to gauge this question with. I've hardly had anything to drink at all in 2019.

Maybe he was confused. Now I'm irritated that the last time I was in KC I didn't make it to Jess & Jim's.
