If a senior team member insists on buying rounds of drinks and you don't drink or don't feel like drinking, do you turn it down or accept it and casually misplace, etc.?

The ultimate sign of alcoholism is when people force you to drink to "be part of the group" or get upset if you don't. If you don't want to drink and they order shots fake it and palm it until you can dump it. If they Oder drinks just hold on to it. Another thing ive done is tell the bartender I'm not drinking or I'm done drinking and to fake it if someone orders a round and includes me. Bartenders are VERY respectful of people not drinking/being done- way better than the drunken mobs they're used to.

Hello! I'm interested in getting into the tech/software side of SE. Currently working for a large manufacturer of power management solutions (>2year). Any tips on where I should start and what i should learn? I understand that learning the software/products is the first step! But which companies (from your experience) are more open/willing to hire Engineers outside of the field, who have the soft skills and ability to learn new technical information but aren't experienced in software. Thank you!
