Formal or otherwise, I always bring my own shovel and I put it to good use too.

I don't think people have a very good reputation being known as a glutton.

Eating well, not a problem, but shoving food into your pie-hole like you've been waiting all week for the opportunity to gorge, isn't going to win you any points.

Remember, "formal" business dinners, aren't about dining but about business.

I really don't see a problem with t his one. Food is there to be enjoyed, whether it's a formal dinner or not.

Excuse me, sir? Are you gonna finish that beer?

It all depends on the culture of the workplace. Although it may be formal, if the workers are the more laid back sort, then this isn't as bad but I wouldn't want to do this if it was the real formal sort where you get all these upper-class business people. I don't mind eating a lot, but I wouldn't want to do it around those people not because I think it is wrong to eat a lot, but because I know the real upper-class sort are very judgmental when it comes to how much you eat. They would think of you as being a hog and someone who is really lower class.
