How To Get a Drink at a Busy Bar
Some of you older guys might be wondering why I would post something like this. The answer is that the younger guys need to hear it. That, and there is far too much shit being directed at Goldman for me to choose from, so I'll default to my second favorite topic. As a former bar owner and "sufferer"...
How Much Do You Drink?
Mod Note (Andy): Best of Eddie, this was originally posted on 5/7/12. To see all of our top content from the past, click here. "If you took all the heavy drinkers out of finance, you'd be left with like two bond analysts and an ATM machine." I actually laughed out loud when I heard the above quote...
Coming out of the closet--I don't drink
I started my IB analyst stint and I've attended these events where everyone would be drinking. I choose not to for my own reasons, but it feels so very awkward that I don't. I know that a huge part of advancement in finance involves being able to bond with your peers outside of the office, and...

The Drunk MD Story

Intelligent People Drink More than Dullards
I have a feeling I'm gonna need a catcher's mitt for all the monkey shit about to be flung by the WSO readers who don't enjoy the occasional toddy quite as much as I do. Don't shoot the messenger, guys, but it appears alcohol consumption - often and in vast quantities - is a mark of higher...
Heavy Drinkers Outlive Abstainers
"There are more old drunkards than there are old doctors..." - Benjamin Franklin As if you needed another reason to partake in Wall Street's culture of booze (well, some of you do ), a recent 20-year study has concluded that heavy drinkers live longer than people who don't drink at all.
