My experience with sales people is they all drink too much. It makes it hard when I have to travel with them. Am I the only one? I saw this in medical devices too before I moved to insurance.

You’re not wrong! Drinking does seem to be a major part of sales culture. I’m not much of a drinker so I always feel like the odd man out during business trips.

Right? Like, can I just go back to my hotel and watch TV alone please?

I hate drinking, but I do it anyway because it's the culture. I'm not giving that as advice. It's a flaw and I want to address it. It is a serious problem in the industry, so it is definitely not just you.

It always makes me feel a little unsafe, probably because at times it was.
