I never (extremely rarely) drink alcohol at these functions, I like to stay sharp and allow others not to be so sharp as they consume more alcohol...they say things they probably shouldn't and I gain valuable intel that I can use later in in business dealings with them. Sneaky? Nah, that's what my organisation pays me for. 😊

That makes a lot of sense. I don't really go to functions like this often and the ones I do go to others are usually a bit more off the wagon than me. I probably still say somethings I shouldn't occasionally.
Lol, we have all been there done that...I learned from it though, made sure I learned the skills of how to keep other people talking rather than talk overly much myself...it's paid incredible dividends over the years.
