[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t this a norm in Europe to have a glass or two of wine at lunch? International organizations like WB or IMF used to have wine and beer for sale in their lunch cafeteria [/quote] Less and less. I have worked at both the IMF and WB and have never seen anyone drink at lunch, though there was wine to buy. I have also worked a lot in the UK, and while lunchtime drinking was definitely a thing in the 90s (especially on a Friday) it is pretty rare nowadays.[/quote] In London? [/quote] DP. London is full of degenerates. It's probably the last hard drinking city in the world. But generally, WB, IMF, and IFC staffers are not drinking at noon. Even at the DC "happy hour" events, the high flyers are very sober. It's usually administrative staff making the most of it. On mission, wine with dinner if necessary. But it is not a hard drinking world these days at the multilaterals.[/quote]
