If you are working you shouldn't be drinking but otherwise I can't think of a job that you shouldn't be allowed to drink when not working.

The whole world does not revolve around the right to drink. Some employers may be concerned if their employees are at a bar on a given night. Maybe he went out with some friends and drank club sodas. Does that help when a passenger recognizes him in the cockpit?

I could have bought him a drink and wouldn't think twice. As long as he is sober when flying.

You understand the FAA is a little less forgiving, right?

I don't know faa regulations but if they can't drink while not working that should be changed. Unless the issue is they are supposed to be resting and then whether they are drinking or not they should get in trouble.

Consumption has to end at minimum 8 hours prior to flying. Some airlines extend that even farther.

This has been derailed enough. You're firing blanks on two different threads, and I suspect trolldom.

8 hours isn't that long. You should be sleeping at that point.

Trolling would be saying Paterno was right. All I said is that people's reactions are overboard.

...there's also the concept of things like parents, clients, etc. that may find those kinds of activities to be inappropriate and display their concerns to the employer.

But that's a hard concept for some to understand.

Number one when in public you lose any expectation of privacy. Number two are you saying people tag you as being somewhere without you being with them? If so that's a problem with your friends.

Lastly what could you possibly do that you can't go to a bar? That's an issue with your job.

Its not about whether someone goes to the bar or has a drink or not. Its about not broadcasting everything you do to the world.

Remember, people have a tendency to assume the worst in any given situation. Just by being tagged in a picture in a bar or checked into a bar by someone else, you could be turning off potential customers who don't want to be associated with people who go to places like a bar.

Here's the thing and maybe it is a younger mentality but if that is really their reason then maybe you don't want to do business with them. They obviously aren't good at business if they think that makes you a bad choice.

Good luck in the real world.

You don't want someone as a customer because maybe they don't want to associate with someone who occasionally goes to a bar? What if they are a recovering alcoholic who, for their own safety, restrict their association because they have a hard time resisting the temptation to drink?
Still don't want them as a customer? Its not them that isn't good at business in that case, its you.

Unless you are going to a bar as a representative of your job that shouldn't even be an issue. My point is of they have to go to your Facebook to figure it out it isn't a problem. If they check your Facebook and then complain tell them it doesn't affect my work as you had to go to Facebook to figure it out. If they still think it is an issue they are probably going to take more effort than they are worth.

I'm very careful about this and won't ever drink when I have to work the next day but even people that do it usually doesn't affect their work.

You are a representative of your job, your church, your family, every club/team/association, etc. you are a part of everywhere you go, at all times.

Just because you aren't "on the clock" doesn't mean you get a free pass on things that you do.

I love how people make it seem like you need to choose between Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. They are three completely different websites/apps. There isn't a ton of crossover (of friends) on the three.
