Jennifer Fuicelli, the company's chief executive, said while she knows alcohol in the workplace is a contentious issue for some, she wanted to provide an "unorthodox corporate culture" of rewarding employees for their hard work — by allowing them to crack open a cold one, on the company's tab, during work hours.

My company has been doing this for years as well. We've never had an incidents. It's great to just have kick back in the last hour or two of the last day of work and reflect on what you accomplished with your co-worker.
