Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

Thank you for your question and I look forward to assisting you. Please keep in mind that I can only respond to your post and the information contained in it, as I do not know what you know unless you describe it fully. Also, oftentimes there are future facts that are as yet undetermined in your matter, that can and must leave some areas of information provided by me broad in nature. However, don't hesitate to ask for clarification if needed! At times, there can also be a delay of an hour or more in between my answers because I may be helping other customers or taking a break. That being said...

Whether you are 'busted', depends on what you did. If you are of legal age and decided to go to a bar on your "off" hours/private time, short of a contractual arrangement where you agreed not to do so in order to be hired and work for your company, in your capacity, I do not see that they have any recourse.

However, if you were going to a bar while "on duty", that may very well be a problem.

If it was a lunch break and you were going there to have burger and no alcohol, again, unless you contracted in the contrary (say, a prohibition of appearing at an establishment serving alcohol), there should be no problem.

Additionally, if you were going, while off duty, for a burger and a beer for lunch, which generally isn't yet a crime in this country, this would generally also not be a problem unless you are in a restricted capacity and can have ZERO alcohol in your body. You would obviously already be knowledgible of this rule, based on the sensitive nature of your position (brain surgeon, astronaut).

I hope you have found this information informative. If so, please click the GREEN "ACCEPT" button NOW, in order that it be recognized as such and I receive credit for same from the company. Your promptness is greatly appreciated. Positive "FEEDBACK" and bonuses are also appreciated. If you need to follow up or don't understand an answer, please feel free to follow up with me! In addition, if you have future legal questions, please feel free to ask me directly by including my name "Stephanie Joy" in the body of your subject.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Joy
