Anyone need to participate in work functions where there is alcohol involved? How do you handle it? I’ve got to do a fair bit of “representational” functions where there tends to be a lot of drinking. Any tips or advice? I can minimize some, but still need to participate in others.
That’s a tough one for sure.. the “need to be there” events. I always looked at it as work. I didn’t drink during working hours, so I went into those events with a mindset of “I can’t drink” maybe set up an hourly phone call with someone to touch base with. Even if it is to say you are doing alright. Take “bathroom breaks” often and disappear for 10 minutes. Good luck man. Stay strong!

I handle it the same way as a non-meat eater at company picnics. I don't eat the sh!t. I don't give a sh!t what everyone else is doing, I'm doing what I do for me, not them.
I worked around it for 12 years.want to a lot of meetings.every day for a year.keep your guard up.
