It's never wise to mix alcohol with business but it most definitely happens.
Then there are the social mixers where alcohol flows freely.
Sometimes the results are disastrous.
On other occasions they are quite hilarious. Sometimes people here go at it like cats and dogs. Some of the folks here seem to hate each other but get a few drinks in them and the love flows!
If you think about it there could be expensive consequences to deal with.
She gets drunk and passes out and wakes up the following morning wanting to be compensated for an all nighter for example.
I have a couple of of experiences... Some funny.. and a couple that were downright scary
I picked a young lady up one afternoon that wanted to go have lunch and a couple of drinks first. She drank 1 and a half margaritas before we left and got to the hotel. She got ready and hopped onto the bed while I took a quick shower.
I laid down next to her and she started to kiss and then in an instant like a switch thrown, the lights went out. She was snoring within a few minutes. I got out of the bed and pulled the covers up around her. I called her handler a couple of times leaving messages because the lady was out and the handler/booking lady was not taking calls.
I was uncomfortable and got fully dressed, opened the curtains a little and propped the door open partially so I could sit in plain view and took care of some business and watched a little TV and she wakes up finally about 2 hours later. She was still "drunk" and got dressed and I took her home....
She had met me at the gate to the complex so I did not know what unit she lived in and she directed me to unit, got out of the car and watched to make sure she got to and safely walked into the apartment.
This was an afternoon occurrence.
So it's around midnight and her handler is lighting up my phone while I am at the movies with the wife. I duck out into the hall and return the call and she wants to know WHEN I am bringing her girl back. She has other appointments scheduled!
What the Fuck? I explain once again, I guess she ignored what was on the earlier messages, and let her know where I dropped her off.... including the details of watching her walking into the apartment. I described it in detail and she suddenly yelled OMG and dropped the phone...... About 5 minutes later she comes back on the line to tell me she found her...
The lady had walked up to, turned the knob on an unlocked door, and walked into the apartment and crashed on a couch...... of a neighbors unit....
Who seemed perfectly happy to let the young lady sleep there while he played video games all night.....
I did get a makeup session for the screwed up afternoon and movie as well as a plausible explanation involving a prescription she took that was not supposed to be taken with alcohol.....
There have been some pretty funny occurrences as well..... If the thread catches on I'll share one about a couple of folks everyone thought really hated each other here!
