I went to a co-workers party, she had a hall, DJ, Karaoke, etc, and lots of booze. I found out that another co-worker turns in to a trailer trash crazy woman when exposed to too much alcohol. It was a bad scene and there is continuing drama occurring.
I normally don't attend parties. I was the soberest person there, I think, although I did loosen up enough to show off my lousy dancing.
So, a word to the wise: Don't go to drinking parties with co-workers!!!

Getting so trashed that it invariably leads to dancing on a table with one's skirt flipped up over their head, or erupting in a vomit geyser in front of co-workers is never cool (save that for your other friends).
Likewise, you're not going to want to carefully weave your inebriated self from the lady's room to the cheese platter, while unaware your skirt is hiked all the way up on one side, imprisoned by the waistband of your Spanx.
I don't. I stayed home with you and watched the Rangers lose.
There was some heavy drinking during and after that debacle, although the pens are clearly the superior team this season so that took some of the sting out.
Ahhh tarbender, give me 2 scottles of botch, i'm home, take me drunk.

It may sound horrid of me but I always keep coworkers an arm length away. Polite but not friends. With some friendships comes drama, and I do not need that added stress. You will have to be one special person for me to step out of my comfort zone for you.
I'm going to have to think about this when I have my wedding in the next few months...
I have drank with co-workers (NOT management ); I don't have problem drinking with ex or current co workers...sometimes commiserating with the right people is key.
The way I see it... after a crazy shift, or a crazy few weeks... hell lets all admit that sometimes this job is pretty crazy all together... a few mimosas at brunch with coworkers is essential to me. At least where I work, dare I say it strengthens us as a team because we realize we are all going through it together and letting go of the stress (not saying drinking is the only way to do that) is very important, however one chooses to do that!

So... No slamming shot after shot of fireball whisky in your neck of the woods?
The general area I live & work in was settled predominantly by German Catholics. Many of the people around here were practically raised with a beer in their hand.
There is always drinking involved, even with employer sponsored events. The hospital had to start limiting the free drinks a few yrs ago at the Christmas party after some "rowdiness". One of the attendings holds a yearly bash & invites everyone to camp out on his property (flyers posted in each dept). Another holds parties on every major holiday with free drinks.
