Probably not, but some people do consider that to be quite a lot (bearing in mind I live in a very boring part of the country where people don’t really go out much).

You’re fine man. I’d just suggest not drinking loads more than anyone else. But one or two more than the others, sure, that’s fine. I wouldn’t bother offering to pay for it.

#20

I guess it’s good for me that my boss sunk his first pint in about ten seconds flat and then asked who else wanted another one.

#21

Definitely wouldn’t worry. Might be that the others had plans later or were driving. Or just didn’t fancy a drink on a Monday.

It was three bottles of beer, not three bottles of champagne. Perfectly fine behaviour.

Paid for by the company - fine

Paid for by your boss who is a daddy warbucks raking it in manager - fine

Paid for by your boss who is just a middle management shill (?) - Poor etiquette

Wouldn’t worry about the cost thing. But I have worked in places where drinking at lunch just isn’t really done if you’re heading back to the office afterwards.

I will always get at least one beer if we’re doing a company lunch. Usually the largest available.

Just go into his office, have a massive piss on his desk, and shout ‘there you go big man, take that back and claim a refund’. That should sort it.

don’t think you should feel guilty about this.

folk in here always buy loads of drinks on their own accord and i wouldn’t have it any other way, yeah if they start ordering quadruple louis XIII i might have something to say about it.
In here we buy dinner, all the booze associated with dinner and additional drinks and always give the most sensible person who is hanging on after i leave with the credit card with the instructions ‘don’t take the piss’

This OP reminds me of those teenage lads who posted on facebook about how crazy and LADDY they were on a trip away by buying a couple of crates of beer, and after you’d done the maths, it turned out that they’d drunk three pints a day for a weekend or something.

based on no evidence whatsoever, I assume your boss was doing this as a way to avoid tax somehow so yeah it’s fine

We’re having our work Christmas party in the office on Thursday, We’ve spent more than a grand just on beer (I know because I placed the order, including some really fancy stuff because hey it’s Christmas and the boss was never going to notice). Oi oi!
