I would imagine you do quite a bit of drinking socially due to the type of work that you do, the people you meet, etc?
When I was working in one of the big 4 accounting firm there were lots of drinking socially, after work drinks, going out with workmates, boss shouting us drinks after a big milestone, meeting clients, etc. And, there was this 1 ED who I worked with quite closely, he doesn't drink due to religious reasons, and he would have 1 'go to drink' that he would order when everyone else order a Stella or a Heineken. No harm done, once he's ordered and served that drink it became a non-issue.
So I think you should come up with a 'go to drink' that you can order when you go out socially, so you don't always feel tempted to order what everyone else is ordering..... I dunno, just a thought....![]()
Good advice. My problem is most of my entertaining is done at my home. And people just don't ****ing leave.
