Dude, I Thought You Said This Was a "Party"...
Apparently, some Communist Party members in China have been taking the "party" bit a little too literally, leading to a crackdown on workday drinking:
Last month, the Henan Alcoholic Drink Industry Association, a trade group alarmed at losing its best customers, challenged the [no drinking] policy as a violation of the legal rights of civil servants.Chinese lawyers fighting the ChiComs over the right to drink?“The country’s Civil Servant Law doesn’t require civil servants to refrain from drinking during their lunchtime,” argued Kang Yinzhong, a lawyer for the trade group, according to state media. “Drink or not, it is the civil servant’s right. Public power has no legal ground to interfere in a civil servant’s life if he or she doesn’t mess up their afternoon work.”
Friggin' sweet...
