I encourage you to leave if things get uncomfortable or if you have a colleague who also doesn’t drink and you can buddy with them perhaps

Fortunately, my colleagues didn’t get drunk during after work outings but I know they have after get togethers where they let loose.
I would set boundaries for myself and when I feel like I need to leave I’d exit and wish folks a good night.
I think sometimes people are afraid they won’t get the info or be considered part of there in crowd so they stay in uncomfortable places and conversations.
I was taught that as a Christian there are some places I cannot go.
When adult associates/colleagues ask me to go to questionable events, I say…. Nah … if Jesus comes back I can’t be caught there… they chuckle and we move on.
God put you at Deloitte for a reason and for a season (could be a year or many years). If you end up in an odd position if your colleagues get drunk then tell them you have to go and leave. But make sure there is someone that isn’t drunk that can have the drunk colleague get home safely. Deloitte has Faith Alliance Christian network.

My experience was at Deloitte- I didn’t experience this with my projects.
Approach your work like a microcosm of the world. Find your tribe.
I usually don’t stay past 9pm. And try to keep my one glass of alcohol throughout the entire night
Reminds that Jesus’ first miracle was doubling the wine at a party 🎉
Haha. Don’t get sloshed, but nothing wrong with celebrating as a team.
Chesterton has a great guide on when-to-drink: drink when you would still be happy without it.
I wish more Christians understood this concept.
Unfortunately it’s a common thing at Deloitte. I dont drink so I always excused myself to head back earlier. Or i just sneak away if i dont wanna be bombarded with questions or peer pressure.
