or you can drink in moderation without getting drunk and give yourself time to sober up just to make sure you arent even buzzed anymore by the time you drive home

the fact that you want to use the office christmas party as an excuse to get hammered says more about you than your boss TBH

An hour away seems stupid for a holiday party, but yeah I have no idea why you'd want to get drunk at a company holiday party. That's not professional.

It's sad that your company doesn't care about vegans who can't attend a Christmas party because it's at a steak house, sad.

I've never understood weekday Christmas parties if they want you to eat, drink and be merry. Our office does their Christmas party and a downtown bar on a Saturday. Sure there are some people are like "I don't want to do weekend work stuff" but the rest of us just enjoy the nice catered in food and the 4 hours of open bar. When the party ends everyone is already in the entertainment district which make staying out easier.

They also will reimburse Uber fees.

Like, the only time getting hammered with a boss is a positive is if you're Japanese businessmen. :l

Depends entirely on the company. Nobody wants to be "the incoherently drunk person", but it's totally normal at my company for everyone to have a really good time at the parties.

Your choice to get that drunk. Just go to the party have a single drink and enjoy the party they didn't even need to throw. Didn't know you needed to get wasted to enjoy a party.

Ungrateful people...

I don't drink, but yeah it just being an hour away during the work week is really dumb. I mean I guess people are more prone to have other plans on the weekend but still.
