Carlsberg Drivers Strike Over 'Lunchtime Beer' Cut Danish drinkers have been hit by a Carlsberg strike after the famous brewer tried to cut the amount of free beers workers are allowed to enjoy at work.

Supplies were hit on Friday after angry warehouse staff walked out on Thursday following a Carlsberg decision to end a custom giving workers three bottled beers a day on the house. Denmark's most famous brewery has implemented a new workplace alcohol policy that limits employees to one bottle of beer a day at lunchtime.
Carlsberg's distribution drivers are still allowed to drink three beers during the course of their shifts. Jens Bekke, Carlsberg's head of communications, tried to reassure workers. "We did remove the extra beers from all refrigerators around the worksite," he said. "But we have also set up taps from which staff can drink freely. So the employees can certainly manage to drink more than one beer during their lunchtime breaks."

We used to have an old Coke machine full of beers at my old company.
Made for some fun and frequent after work parties.
Ice-chilled now serving at McDonalds?
One of my old companies when I was 9 to 5er, whenever payday came, every dude would go to the bar at lunchtime and get hammered.
THEN stagger into the office at 1 pm..well, sometimes 130 pm with a hangover. Hard to believe it was a law office.
