Anybody here got visibly drunk at a company's party?

>>1686708
Fucking poorly.
Got smashed, started getting aggressive with associates (I'm self employed so I don't have to impress anyone) then when I went over board with the alcohol I whipped out a bag of cocaine and started doing it in front of everyone.

Safe to say I'll probably not get invited next year.

>>1686742
AHHAHAAHHA

I was visibly tipsy. But I got big time props for being the only person to not drive and take an Uber home.

>>1686742
I would invite you anon.

>>1686742

At an off hours party once. I lived like two blocks away so I could walk home if I had to. The people I worked with at the time we're raging alcoholics so I was trying to play along. I know when to stop so clumsy drunk doesn't turn into crying/fighting drunk though.

Ended up fired a couple of days before the one day I'd scheduled off all year. Employer told the recruiter I was "arrogant" which is just what stupid people confuse with confidence.

Are people on here still in high school?

In 13 years, I've never seen alcohol at any company party, whether it was a birthday, retirement, or Christmas party. Companies don't want to be reliable.

Or responsible, I'd guess.

In Europe it is common, maybe not as common in the USA, since most of the business are kosher ;-)

I used to work for a specialty food/beverage distributor and retailer. We had a summer party and a holiday party. Always plenty of booze, big dispensers of homemade cocktails, kegs of beer, cases of wine. Some people got way too shitfaced. I once took home an 18 y/o I met at one (she told me she was 22) and fucked her senseless. She was a crazy bitch though and got fired eventually.

>>1686854
What are you talking about? The more hip millenials work places even have weekly company happy hours.

Who the fuck wants to get drunk with the people they work with? That sounds god awful. If i want to drink, ill do it with the people I actually want to hang out with and not those im forced to.

Where is your office, Saudi Arabia?

Can someone tell me the benefit of office Christmas parties?

I've always hated them. They just feel like more work without getting anything done.

I'd prefer a simple end-of-year review and lunch.

>>1686708

I'm getting visibly drunk at a Christmas party at my gf's sister's house right now.

I went to a work xmas party once that was in the conference room at a hotel. There was no alcohol. So i went to the hotel bar and got drinks and carried them back into the party, and proceeded to get drunk. The owners of the company were so pissed. I didn't care. Not a single fuck was given. I got hammered in front of everyone while they all drank soda. Didn't get fired or even reprimanded. Highly recommended.

If you guys actually work at places where where the holiday party does not have an open bar, I truly pity you.

What kinds of businesses are these?

>>1686742

Greentext details pls

>>1686708
i couldn't pretend my colleagues or what they are saying interest me any more and almost fell asleep.

I showed up to work this morning high as fuck. No one said anything to me about it, so hopefully all was well in the jungle.

As long as you're not in a governmental position, who gives a fuck if you get too rowdy?

>>1687122
Government used to be cool about drinking but the public gets so assblasted any time a public sector worker isn't as miserable as they are that No Fun Allowed is policy now.

>>1687006
communicating and networking with colleagues is at least 20% of the job. just go in, say hi to a few ppl, ask what they do and so on until they are drunk enough to gain info from.

got completely fucked at and ended up like 5 miles from a bar a few of us ended up at... still to this day idk how it happened..

There's only 8 of us at my company so my boss usually takes us to dinner somewhere. He buys drinks for everyone and is always first to get hammered. Last year, his wife had to come pick him up because everyone refused to drive him home.

>>1687176
>everyone refused to drive him home.

So not only did he provide your livelihoods, he also bought you fags drinks and you wouldn't even give the man a ride? I'd fire you all.

>>1687006

Occasionally they are fun. But yeah 90% of the time you're right.

Gotta separate work and play.

Does it count for the thread if I wasn't the drunk?

2 years ago I was a contractor with this company. I crashed their company party because fuck it, I'm in IT, and I know the door code to the back. They had an HR hambeast that literally everyone hated. She was in charge of insurance, which was hilarious because this bitch weighed over 400 pounds, and had so many medical conditions it wasn't even funny. She had some 5000 dollar office chair because of ADA bullshit (read: she was so fat she had to get a triple wide motorized reinforced chair to prevent loss of circulation in her legs)

She got drunk within an hour and absolutely shitfaced within 2. Stood up on a chair, took her shirt off while singing jingle bell rock, and then shit herself. The smell was so bad they shut the party down.

It wasn't worth seeing or smelling that. I don't even drink. I just wanted to gorge myself on pizza rolls.

My first Christmas party we had a private room at an upscale restaurant booked. Open bar, steak, etc. HR brought cigars for everyone and we were all drunk and smoking. Somebody brought weed as well lol

This year HR booked us a private room at a steakhouse, but the bar only served beer and wine. We all got smashed anyways and smoked Cubans in the room. Ubered home. It was a lot more tame this year.

>>1687313

>this bitch weighed over 400 pounds, and had so many medical conditions it wasn't even funny

Why would anyone go to these things? It just sounds like unpaid overtime, except you actually aren't producing any value and just wasting money.

>>1687423
Because you're not working you're getting free food and booze and hanging out with people. If you don't like your co-workers then don't go

>>1687429
Maybe if it was during work hours but fuck wasting my own time.

>>1686708
I get tanked on the regular with my coworkers at happy hour. We are just a self selecting group of alcoholics though, so there's no judgement.

I got black out drunk at our last company 'winter' party (owner is Indian and too cheap to have a party at Christmas time). I remember fading in and out of consciousness and getting into an aggressively animated conversation with my projects (very drunk) PM. I don't remember the topic, I just remember him yelling at me and putting his finger in my face. It didn't escalate beyond that. It was slightly weird for me the next Monday, but I realized everyone was smashed, and no one really knew what was going on. Me and my PM never spoke of it, and acted like it never happened. It helps that I'm one of the most popular people in my office.

>>1687423
>Why would anyone go to these things?
Because it's fun to get trashed with your coworkers outside of work?

Or is that too normie for you?

>unpaid overtime except you aren't working

Why do you give a shit about being productive if you aren't being paid?

Disregard the whole show up and eat 70 dollars in food that you didn't pay for part. Why the fuck would you work without pay?

>>1687430
Don't you like to have fun?

>>1687480
Personally, I don't find being drunk enjoyable at all. I don't get hangovers, or anything like that, but the actual experience of being drunk isn't entertaining to me.

That said, I'm not turning down tons of good food that I don't have to pay for if I happen to be in the area.

>>1687223
They were probably all drunk, ya' irritable dope.

I didn't even get fired but I did get a lot of weird looks from my co-workers after that.

>>1687516

This one's got the tism, George. Call the retard wranglers.

>>1687436
wew lad this is me every time I drink.
I realize how retarded I was being and how much I looked like an ass. Then I realize just about everyone else I was with was also shithoused/blackout.

Good times.

>>1687006
You guys have shitty coworkers.

>>1686708
We used to have a competition: He who comes in last the morning after has to keep a hard bagel on their desk until next year's party. Called it the bagel award. It would be rock solid and stale.
Of course everyone would be hungover as hell, still drunk getting into work to avoid the bagel. They'd be running to the door.
One new girl left early and came back that night, slept under her desk, and screwed everyone who thought she'd lose.

You know, there are people who might actually like their job and can get along well with their co-workers.
Most people work the larger part of their life, better enjoy your job or fucking quit and search for something else

This nigger was an overall menace to the town, purportedly did time in prison in Nova Scotia. He was in his 30s doing drugs with teenagers.

Hopefully he's back in prison.

Depends on the type of business.

I know an engineering consulting company that always serves alcohol to its associates, usually in the form of wine.

Haven't been to a company party in decades.

Started to work at a chiropractor clinic on Friday, helping Physical therapy room, 4pm comes around and im handed a cup of wine, take it and drink it later.

The other workers drink it in front of their clients. No one gives a shit.

This job might get interesting.

Got drunk at a company golf outing once. Some highlights.

>kept going around telling people I was from the future
>jumped out of my golf cart going full speed and did a barrel roll into the drink cart lady and proceeded to tell her I was from the future as I tipped her 20$
>jumped out of a golf cart while my friend was driving and landed next to my supervisor who was trying to put (he was pissed)
>told a senior manager that I was from the future and hugged him

Funny enough, my leadership team found it endearing. We bonded and they joked about it for weeks to come with me. Despite acting like a jack ass, it came out to my advantage. Depends on the people too I suppose.

Probably also helped that one of my coworkers outshined me by approaching our HR manager and telling him he didn't like him. He also laid down on the ground during a raffle event and started balling hysterically about how he was suicidal.

Good times.
