Our firm has an express policy that you're only allowed to consume firm-provided alcohol in the office (e.g. attorney happy hours and other firm functions). Nevertheless, there is a partner on my floor with a bar cart with a variety of liquors, etc. I've never seen an associate or counsel do anything more than have an unopened bottle of wine on their desk from a xmas gift they haven't taken home yet.

It is going to be pretentious as fuck if you have a bottle of scotch sitting in a decanter on display. Don't be that guy. If you really want to have a snort now and then, just keep a bottle in your desk.

Coke when leaving the office to manufacture some euphoria. It’s too inconsistent and euphoric to deal with the horror of 19 biglaw emails coming in a minute while simultaneously turning a partners illegible edits to a motion 1 hr beforehand it needs to be filed

everytime a door slams shut you think it's the cops called to make an example of you by some service partner. your jaw clenches, you can barely jerk off, grabbing your glock tightly to go out in a blaze of glory.

When I was fedclerking I got talked to by the Clerk of the Court personally about a fucking bottle of cheap glenfiddich that I happened to leave out on my desk after working late one night. They told my judge and everything, but he didn't care and I actually think it helped me with him long term.

But anyway, just so you know: there are apparently federal regs that prohibit the consumption of alcohol on premises.

Pretty common for associates to have a bottle of scotch in the desk, usually broken out for a late night drink with fellow associates or a "chill" junior partner after finishing some big task (I'm a litigator, so usually filing a big brief at midnight or something like that). Don't know anyone with openly displayed alcohol though except for one older partner. Would be weird at my firm for a junior associate to have a bottle on the shelf like some kind of college dorm shit.

Kept a bottle of bourbon on bookshelf as a mid-level associate. Partners would high five when they noticed it got drained because that meant we were in there late at some point. In current form probably half of the offices have a bottle of liquor out in the open

Have only seen an occasional partner with liquor in their office.

One rainmaker used to get sloshed daily but he brought in so much business no one cared.
