Never Drink at Work Events
Transcript
Never drink at any work event. Your coworkers are not your friends. They're your associates. And if put in a corner, they will throw you under the bus in order to save themselves. There has been thousands and thousands of marriages lost, people that have gone to jail, and people have been terminated and laid off due to inappropriate behavior at a work event. Our last two presidents both did not drink. Some of the most powerful and successful CEOs are completely sober. And when you are sober, you will hear and see things that a drunk person would never notice. If you have no choice, you can have one drink and milk it the entire night. But the smartest way is to do a soda with a lime or a water with a lime, so it looks like you're drinking and no one even notices.
