I am entirely incapable of relaxing at work holiday parties, work happy hours, etc.

for real tho

Lucky. Fucking. BITCH.

Since the department party two (!) weeks ago was a university function, no booze. This is what sucks about a public university.

Oh, you'll be fine. In case things do get wild, the following are things that I have learned are generally frowned upon from attending various work holidays over the years:

- drinking the free wine sitting on the table straight from the bottle
- dancing on a table top
- hooking up with a co-worker out in the open and showing up to work the next day three hours late with mad scratches all over your back and proceeding to show them off
- passing out at the table
- showing your boss you tattoos where doing so means they see an area of your body that they normally would not

(Only actually guilty of one of those - the rest were things I consider myself fortunate to have witnessed.)

One more - starting a fight and taking a swing at a co-worker - don't do that.

holy hell dude--pace yourself!

Just because there is free booze available for five hours doesn't mean you have to drink free booze for five hours.

As I'm posting that I realize how alien that would have sounded to me as little as six years ago.

Also do ppl who lose it completely at office parties never drink? I mean… have some dignity.

Me either. I had my work Christmas party a few weeks ago and I just wandered around aimlessly, stoned and kinda drunk, not talking to anyone.

run wild, run free imo. be magnificent out there

drink like the wind!

Also do ppl who lose it completely at office parties never drink? I mean… have some dignity.

Combination of:

- free booze
- nervousness/excitement at drinking free booze with people you don't usually see after 6 pm on Fridays.

even booze you have to pay for will get you fucked up if you drink it right, pro tip

open bar for 5 hours, for better or worse

liveblog it

damn I guess this free food/booze thing really happens at everyone's office parties except mine, right ;_;

i ended up leaving with bottle of patron *kanye shrug*

Somebody told me last week that Siete Leguas is the real Patrón

You walked out of a bar with a bottle of Patron? You have had a week.

well it was a secret santa thing, but still

pour it out for your 'fins
