When an article in The Economist about the disappearance of the boozy business lunch claimed that “Hacks at Bloomberg Businessweek can be disciplined for so much as sipping a spritzer,” Josh Tyrangiel wasn’t having any of it.
Tyrangiel, editor of Businessweek, took to Twitter to set the record straight:
“Hacks at Bloomberg Businessweek can be disciplined for so much as sipping a spritzer.” Really

According to
@theeconomist,@bw is leading the new journalism temperance movement. We will have… VENGEANCE! econ.st/P76Dx1— Josh (@Tyrangiel) August 14, 2012
The Economist took note and soon added a correction to the piece:
Correction: An earlier version of this article claimed that journalists at Bloomberg Businessweek could be disciplined for sipping a spritzer at work. This is not true. Sorry. We must have been drunk on the job.
Tyrangiel was pleased:
“Sorry. We must have been drunk.” Cheers to
@theeconomist on a classy correx to the@bw booze story. Next round on us. econ.st/P76Dx1— Josh (@Tyrangiel) August 14, 2012
