I hope you don't mean alcohol! You presumably work in a setting where it is not possible to simply go and get one, such as a check-out worker in a supermarket or similar? I think common sense would dictate that on hotter days you should ensure you have water with you at all times. On colder days ask yourself why you need a drink - is it to get away from the intensity, is it a physical job or is it medical? As long as it is not for time wasting you should expect your line manager to be fine with this. After all, happy employees are better workers than disgruntled ones.

Are you talking about a coffee or half a bottle of scotch?
A lot of workplaces don't like you drinking ANYTHING at your desk/workstation/location/whatever for good reasons.
If you have a genuine need to take medication or something like that, with water, they shouldn't get too upset with you.
Drunk on Duty however, is an instant dismissal offence, even if it's not in your contract of employment.

depends on the job- if u see ur boss regulary or have to operate machinery or dont trust your colleagues to stay stum then stay away, if your making a habit of it becareful and remember there's a big difference from havin "a drink" and falling all over your dask! all this said- it can help the day pass quicker, chewing gums a must tho!

Are you asking if it is okay to have a drink during your break ... as in alcohol? If that's the question, the answer is no, it is not okay, unless you are trying to get fired.
