I never drink alcohol while on duty.  Mostly through choice, but I've got the added extra discipline of working with my 'Long-haired Sergeant Major', whose tee-total; just about.

Only water for me!

If any of my guy's accepted an alcoholic drink on the job I would sack them.

Not being a stick in the mud but the following issues worry me:

1) Drink Driving!
2) Accident at work smelling of Alcohol (Insurance won't like that)
3) If a new customer stops you and asks for you to clean her windows and you smell of beer, well, not the best image to portray.
4) Is it professional?
5) Dehydration in the hot weather? Water is better for you

Don't get me wrong, I like a drink, but there is a time and a place. I.e after work or at weekends.

Best wishes,

Trev

What I don't understand is why my customers still offer me a steaming hot cup of tea when the sun is blazing!!!!!! They always look at me as if Im mad when I ask for a pint of cold water instead!

at least someone brought up the drink drive issue, and how safe is it up a ladder after a couple of beers

[RO-Sheen]

'Up a ladder'?? Is there still window cleaners that use that old fashioned method???

[JM123]

you've gotta be joking me!!  I'd never have a drink out working - sorry, I'm right behind trevor - I'd sack them too, no questions asked.

A cold drink in hot weather,just makes you want more. a hot drink quenches your thirst.
