I don’t do more than a glass of wine at select dinners and never drink at happy hours. I have found that a sober mind is best for work because you can drink and socialize in personal settings with less visibility.

I’ve also found that the standard is not a standard at all as it changes depending on the person. One person can be several beers in and be considered a great time. Another person can be a couple drinks and get judged. Not worth the strategic thinking lol we need that for work 🤣

I once mistook my Ambien for my Adderrall. Took two Ambiem instead of two Adderrall. Literally passed out at my desk.

Ive put wine in my coffee cup a couple times. Alone - its boring and more of a let down than anything.
The other time i split a wine bottle amongst my team (i think the whole team was fed up with our manager who asked us to work late), so it was a bit of a hype thing to do. Team loved it and it brightened up their night. One guy posted about it (nothing incriminating) on his personal social media, i think it was one of his first “wild” work memories for him.

TLDR - drink secretly with work friends.

I once got high on painkillers in the office but that ended up being extremely regrettable. Would not recommend to anyone regardless of how slow you THINK the day is gonna be. Please just trust me on this one lol, all it takes is one person to snitch and your career is over.

Thankfully I didn’t have anyone snitch but my work product was subpar on a day we had a particularly high priority emergency with a client project

So during my summer analyst job at a bank my jr yr we got a Yankees suite w an open bar and I got plastered. It was loads of fun.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level. Lately because of many of her friends getting engaged / married, rings have been mentioned and she’s said pretty much she wouldnt be happy with under 25k.

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff
