Models & Bottles

All the time I hear bankers talking about models & bottles. I've always wondered if bankers are working 100 hours shifts, how is it possible for them to be able to do models and bottles? Also, when they are off which I know is crazy since banking takes up your life shouldn't bankers be sleeping to keep themselves off insanity instead of getting drunk?

Whether it's going out to grab a beer at 1:00AM on a Tuesday night, or going for bottle service (cringe) at some shitty club on the weeekends, it's incredibly important for me to get out of the office and get some perspective. Sure, I probably do need the extra hours of sleep, but keeping my sanity by having a few non-finance conversations is much more important. It gets pretty fucking monotonous to wake up, go to work, go to bed and then do it all over again. Pretty soon you'll hate your life.
