Is this business drunk thing really ok? I had my first ever meeting of distric and regional managers today and the company paid for food and drink. Several of my peers got preeeeetty wasted, and I got a nice little buzz because I didn't want to seem like a stiff. It was however, a 10 A.M meeting and we were done by noon. Is this a common practice in the business world? Should I just go with it and get wasted? Also, what are some of your job stories that are wierd and out there?
I didn't even know what the fuck and avitar was until about 5 minutes ago.

It depends on your manager, and also the business you're in.
cops around here do it all the time
I almost spit my sandwich on to my monitor.
I'll get you yet, Sandwichface!
why do I produce more semen when I jerk it than when I'm having sex?
EDIT: I suppose that's a better question for the medical community than those in business.
R.I.P.
You shall never triumph, Dr. Condiment!
Well I know if I had had a lot to drink before sex, I never got to cum. But then the next time I jerked it, WOOOOOOOO! Like a shotgun I blew my load, so maybe its a build up thing?
Sounds like you work for homeland security!
I actually just work in a restaurant.
Thats the best perk I can imagine
Its the exact same thing.
Its my understanding that its a semi common practice for executive level workers.

That's awesome
Are you in a position where you can keep a bottle of some sort of hooch in your desk drawer and drink out of it greedily when your underlings aren't around
Like a vindictive police chief / newspaper editor

I sit in an air conditioned office all by myself all day, and can either do nothing or watch security cameras or make my underlings do either of those two options. Occasionally I handcuff some kid who stole a video game.

They were bitching tacos though
my buddy works for an ad agency and they have an old fire station for their office. Downstairs in the garage is always a keg, upstairs is a fridge mostly full of beer.
BTW I'll be flying in to Vancouver tomorrow.
And last night work was hard.
I drank waaay too much on an empty stomach.
I had never thrown up from drinking before.
Nor had I ever thrown up straight up beer.
I swear I could've drank it again if I wanted to.
I feel like a big pile of molasses covered barf
Dispatcher, over police band: Disturbance reported at the top of the Crown restaurant. Suspect is a male costumed extremist armed with what appears to be a... Ketchup gun.
Batman: It's going to be one of those nights.
Then after a while I started smoking a joint in between each beer, and I had like 5 joints.
Then after I keeled over and threw up all other this chick's kitchen floor and got dragged onto a couch, everyone was all "Dude are you alright?" and I'm like "Give me... more weed. It will help" "Drink water, dude" "FUCK YOU GIVE ME MARIJUANA!"
drunk and bonin' in the supply closet by noon. SOP.
however.
there is a line though i'm not entirely sure what it is.
we've heard tale of drunken affairs going on - i've seen people holding hands and talking only centimetres away from eachothers faces.
but we've also had someone get removed from the company for overdoing it.
no idea what it actually was. i think he might have yelled at a broker.
The other day one guy came in over two hours late reeking of rum over top his usual cologne of shit and diesel. He was mostly sober and that kind of tardiness is tolerated if it doesn't happen often, but most people found that unacceptable. Eventually someone gave him gum, and that helped.
At my internship last summer one of our senior managers (guy in his 30s with a pregnant wife) had a get together at his home in the suburbs. When I got there it was a shit ton of older people from my work and they were all playing beer pong and flippy cup when I walked in the door. I still waited to play until I got an invitation from the senior.
Eventually I threw up in his yard, but his wife and him just laughed and made jokes about it to other seniors and full time staffers.
But yea, don't drink unless you know its okay to. And don't get stupid drunk. This one chick left her company laptop in a Chicago cab after happy hour.
Needless to say, she wasn't offered a full time position
