Drinks after work: the do's and don'ts
Drinks after work? How about a few G&Ts, a Karaoke performance, and a drunken encounter with that bloke in accounts? Its liberating to lose your inhibitions after a stressful week, but embarrassing when you're in the office the morning after. Dont let one thing lead to something you might regret
- Work out a code with your good work mates, so if the office letch comes along you can signal to them for help
- Dont tease the man you know has always fancied you. After a few drinks, sitting on his knee and stroking his bald patch may give out the wrong signals.
- Dont leave with anyone you dont want to get into a sticky situation with
- Arrange a lift home beforehand, so you dont have to share a cab or car ride with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable.
- Thou Shalt Not Mix Your Drinks: wine and whisky cocktails are a surefire way of losing more than your inhibitions.
- Invite your partner, if possible, to ensure a flirt-free evening and a safe journey home
- Dont confront someone who you feel has been pestering or harassing you in the office go through the proper channels.
- If someone is coming on too strong, make it clear their attentions are making you unhappy. You dont have to be rude, but dont just laugh it off.
- If you do get a lift home from a male colleague, dont invite him in unless you are 100 per cent sure of his character and your intentions.
- Have fun and leave with your dignity intact.
