It’s Holiday Party Season!

It’s holiday party season!
You know what this means?
It’s okay not to drink alcohol. It’s also okay to have employees who don’t drink alcohol.
I realize this may be the stupidest thing some of you have read because you’re thinking, “Duh. Drinking isn’t required!”
But as a non drinker, I can tell you that, for whatever reason, some drinkers will pressure non-drinkers. I don’t know why, but it’s wrong.
Good companies that decide to offer alcohol at company parties should also offer a variety of non-alcoholic drinks. Bubble water is my party drink of choice, but I’d love to have a good mocktail available.
And lest you think I’m overreacting here are a couple of horror stories:
Spiking a drink at the company party: https://lnkd.in/eCqNqTKd
Pressuring a non-drinker to drink: https://lnkd.in/e8eecCy

Please! Enjoy your alcohol, but don’t pressure anyone to drink. They may be non-drinkers for any number of reasons, none of which are any of your business.
