I've heard it many of times before and I'm sure you have as well at the local pubs with your buddies:
"Studies have shown .. If you drink you'll make more money dude .."
Ok, maybe not like this, but it came up a few times with me between friends, family, and working professionals. I guess all-in-all I would have to agree, but even though it may be true there's so many questions that can spawn of off it: Is it healthy? Are we spending the "extra money" we make on booze? Is that Monday hangover after the big game on Sunday worth it?
All-in-all I don't really mind. I'll put it out there - Yes, I drink and I think it can be beneficial at times, but it can be overdone. A couple drinks is fine given the circumstances. Heck, maybe it's a holiday weekend .. Let loose and have some fun. Have that extra drink! Some basic questions that might spark up some convo:
- Do you agree? Are most of the "white collar" people you know drinkers?
- Have you ever connected with somebody that helped you find another job or move up in your current company while drinking?
- Is it healthy to go out with the people you work with for a drink or two?
Oh - btw here's ONE of the studies that I googled quick. I was unable to get it to attach. So a link will have to do:
