Drinking at corporate functions
In ethics class today the topic of personal integrity came. We started talking about how what you do in your free time reflects on your firm. The professor suggested that we don't drink at corporate functions. Someone in the class pointed out that that may cause a wedge between you and other coworkers who are drinking (being labeled an outcast etc.)
What do you guys think? Do you think differently of a coworker who doesn't drink when you guys go to happy hour after work?
I do not know anyone who doesn't drink. We're all alcoholics. And why would someone who doesn't drink come to happy hour after work. Doesn't make sense.
your professor is full of fucking shit at the highest possible fucking level
you're a pussy boy if you don't drink to get drunk
If your at a recruiting function and under 21....don't. After that, drink as much as you want....just save the benders for when you're with your boys.
honestly tell your professor to go sit on a fire hydrant
Your professor should kill himself.
just don't get shithoused. Save that for when you are hanging out with your boys/girls from HS/college. Keep it respectable when work folks are around. You don't want to be a rumor.
No one is going to look down on someone for having a drink at a function in which other people are drinking..
What does drinking at a company function have to do with ethics
The Analysts who stay sober at company functions are instantly labeled as self-righteous tools by the entire firm.
I would avoid a 0.00% BAC at all costs.
@bigtool05 - exactly. Seems like a pretty weird example to use for business ethics, especially when there are much better "what-ifs" to discuss.
As for the OP, some people drink and some people don't. Whatever. But if you do drink and then don't at corporate events just to look good, eventually some will figure it out, and it'll just look weird. Just relax, have a few beers and enjoy yourself, cause chances are, all of your superiors are doing the same thing.

Whatever it takes to fit in
Absolutely drink...your coworkers will open up at these events as the booze gets flowing and it's more fun to be on their level. Just control yourself. Nothing wrong with putting back several just don't be chugging or doing anything that makes it obvious how much you are drinking.
