in some cultures it would be deemed disrespectful to refuse a drink from a boss or superior.  its just how some office environments work.

im simply addressing the fact that you'll most likely be dealing with people who drink / environments involving alcohol for the rest of your life.

and your goody-two shoes patronizing attitude is something that should be addressed...BY GETTING A LITTLE TIPSY.

chill out.

back in the day...

its a way of socializing and it has been for as long as modern human history.

---

Talking is a way of socializing.

---

often times meetings and business deals go on at bars.

---

Your point? Just because you're in a bar, doesn't mean you have to drink.

---

Ohhhh Mr. UPenn got told!!1

I am #1!

What happens when your boss asks you "what do you want to drink" and you say "milk."  Your boss is going to think "wow I hired a pussy" and that is the harsh reality

---

And if the boss is offering alcohol to someone underaged...we have more of a problem than worrying about the drinks at hand, don't we.

I'm sorry, but I don't drink. Ever. And if my boss is going to think me a pussy, b/c I don't drink, then maybe I don't want to work with said boss. A boss should worry about the productivity of their worker, not what they drink and don't drink.

It's a harsh reality, hungryboi, indeed. But your reality does not equate all.

wow are you like
prohibition spokesperson incarnate?

---

Far from it.

---

Oh, no, honey. I don't know where the fuck you're living, but office environments don't force one to drink. You can ALWAYS say 'no thank you'. And, our culture is NOT that culture. Try again.

---

So what if you have to deal with it? You can always say 'no', no matter the situation/circumstances. You do NOT HAVE TO DRINK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO. Boss pressure is peer pressure. I don't care if your boss is the leader of Sam Adams, and he's working with you, as a part time Boss. You do NOT HAVE TO DRINK, NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS. If he looks at you any less b/c you drink water, over beer, you have every right to leave. Probably every right to sue for...I dunno, stupidity.

---

I'm no goody two shoes. And, no, I would rather stay sober, the rest of my life, thanks much.

But thanks for the assholey attitude. :_

---

chill out.

---

I can do well without alcohol. Too many dangerous side effects. The cons outlast the pros.
