One of my customers, a BIG company, had 0 alcohol policy.

Of course when management arranged a huge pretentious event (the king and queen came), management arranged for alcoholic drinks.

I heard (I wasn't invited) the safety officers where able to prevent it.

We have the strictest policies that we follow all the time. Until it isn't convenient, then we ignore them.

For a while management got a budget to take people out to lunch with. My boss took people to the bar occasionally, and they would occasionally order an alcoholic drink. He went up to finance to submit the receipts for reimbursement and they said out loud "You can't expense alcohol."  My boss looked over to HR that was sitting next to him and HR said "Sure you can." So finance approved it. My boss knew that the HR department recently had gone to a bar for a lunch outing, so he knew it would be fine.  And again to be clear I've never seen anyone order a second alcoholic drink at lunch.

Our CEO has no alcohol policy (the company itself does not have it officially).

Real awkward when we got a celebratory champagne from one of our customers, for an award we got and we couldn't drink it.

It's still in the fridge, 3 years later.

Nexj-n, the NC, A-erna office, had the tap beer adjacent to the Kurig machine.  

Sadly, I seldom drink beer and I spent 90% of my time with them traveling to Mexico and The Netherlands.

Just get a glass of milk. It contains all colors of the rainbow at once. 😄

(of course Ouzo + water would work too!)

Of course, if the colors mix subtractive, you'd have to order a dropshot (Dutch liquorish liquor).

Or black absinthe (the liquor, not the band). Absinthe is an acquired taste, probably best not to acquire a taste for it though. I heard at some point it was the most popular liquor in the world (IIRC 1840-1880?).

The art related to Absinthe is amazing (Absinthe Fairy (pinterest.com)).
