So you’ve been invited to a career-making networking party, or maybe it is just the office Christmas bash. Whatever the event, it can be difficult to know just how much booze is too much.
We all want to be pioneers and trail-blazers, but it is important to pick your moments. Pay attention to the company culture and the behaviour of your co-workers. If the mood is low-key, control your drinking so that you aren’t the only one with your tie tied around your head. If everyone else is already doing it (everyone, not just the office drunk), chances are you’re more likely to get away with it.
