I don't the law of Nepal regarding the time for alcohol consumption. When I was working as a teacher in a sarkari university away from Nepal, my boss used to wait until 5pm and invite me to drink just at 5:01pm and sometime we used to drink until 3am next morning. .... finish 1 litre scotch whiskey .......... whatever available in the room. His logic of 5:01pm is that as a sarkari employee, you are not supposed to drink / consume alcohol until 5:01pm i.e. formal office hours. I was proud of him for the sensibility and the ethics he taught me by practicing it in his daily life. Its not 1 or 2 or 3 days, its always he used to wait until 5:01pm. He was a paper driver for 20years or more, never drove any car, the reason was he liked drinking. In another instance, I used to work with other government employees, and went to site, while going to site in day time / office hours, once I asked them whether I can borrow a news magazine and look while seating inside that car, my colleagues told me that while in sarkari gadi and in sarkari jagir, you are not supposed to read such magazines, but, if its this report or text book, you can. I liked that idea. The reason they gave is that its not only because public can raise question, but, its also unethical. The lack in Nepal is on teaching on ethics i.e. the officers in Nepal are just hired by PSC and sent to work at offices without any training and such misbehaviors are regular.
