Of course, this is not recommend by workers, let alone drinking alcoholic beverages, son't do things thats are which is not allowed within the scope of work if you don't want to be sanction or fired for doing thing that are infringed by anyone whose superior will definitely not accepted seeing their subordinate doing that during working hours, unless you do it outside of works then it won't be a problem and won't interfere with your work.
Yeah, although the thing is that if you manage to do those things in a more controlled way, you might be able to get away with it.
If you only gamble at work from time to time, it's not really a big deal.
The issue appears when you start consuming too much time. That's the key. Because you lose focus and attention, which are critical and scarce resources.
