Once every week or two, when my brother and I go out to lunch at one particular pizza place (I work at the University, he's a student, so we have plenty of time to hang out,) we split a pitcher or two because they have Stone Ruination on tap and the bitterness complements the "kicker" pizza's hot peppers beautifully. If I were visibly impaired at work, union rules state that I would have to be evaluated by a doctor for substance abuse and offered treatment, so I'm careful about it. I also do support for outside events here, and as long as our director of operations isn't here it's OK for me to accept when the people running them offer me a drink.
Overall, I wouldn't get drunk or even heavily buzzed at work because I wouldn't want to risk it impacting my performance. I could do most of the job falling down drunk, but not as well and as efficiently as I usually do.

My yearly ritual is to have a stiff drink while TurboTax installs, then switch to beer while I'm entering data. I end wouldn't want a drunk accountant to do my taxes because that would cost more and I can do my own taxes perfectly fine while drunk.
