Alcohol with work colleagues
Jump to: Newest in thread
Three weeks into a new job and we are going out for lunch tomorrow and not returning to work. My dilemma, shall I stay on soft drinks so I stay sensible or shall I drink alcohol and be, well, not quite so sensible. I don't get legless and I still stay a nice person with alcohol, just I may let my guard down a little.
I am still in the early days of making a good impression on my bosses and work colleagues.
What would you do? |

I’d just be myself. |

With or without alcohol though....that is the question |

No alcohol with work colleagues, that’s my rule. There will be plenty who will but it’s just a no in my book, for many reasons |

I had a similar dilemma... an ex partners family gathering in Istanbul. Do I drink or not...? One of the cousins was from London and we got on well. I decided to let him set the pace and either drink the same or less than him. The drink of choice was Raki. Luckily for me I can hide being hammered well. Sadly for him, he was all over the place! Worse for me, they then thought I was a closet ragging alcoholic! Whatever happens.... enjoy! |

"Be the last to order and see what everyone else is having, if they have alcohol then why shouldn’t you 
2 guys are drinking, 2 ladies aren't, that's it."
Sounds like a drink will be needed! |

I'd say haven't just al couple to be social. If you find stopping at one or two difficult then abstain for the day.
You'll have plenty of time to embarrass yourself later |

"What I normally do, is get shitfaced, tit wank a patio umbrella pole and spend a day apologising
Drink then Back door boogie if feel too much.
That is an option, thanks"
Drinking with work colleagues is how I met my ex. |

Works outing last year there was plenty of booze and ended up me spending the night with work colleague. Wasn't expected, wasn't planned, it just happened. Best sex in years. |

"if still on probation I'd limit the alcohol to one or two drinks"
I always find if you start the drinking it’s difficult to only have one if you start. Pointless having one in many ways. |

"Have yourself a drink. You never know it may turn out just like the stryker Xmas party  "
Its safer to stay sober. Don't want them seeing the 'real me' just yet. Need to stay professional whilst on my probationary period I think. |
