Getting hammered with ClientCo Manager's Boss....

You might go up in his estimation slightly if you are good company but on the other hand you can get yourself walked for the messing up so really not worth it.

I never ever get drunk with work.

Although I only have a few soft drinks and then go home. I am not a quiet drunk when I get going so I keep that away from work.

5 or 6 pints, make my excuses then head home.

One sniff of a babycham and I'm anyone's.

I had one boss who would agree to anything after two pints. Annoyingly though, he wouldn't sign anything.

[Scrag Meister]

I'm still here.

I'm still here.

but has he started winking at you?

Sure having a couple of glasses of wine with the person who signs your timesheets can improve your relationship and may help at extension time. Getting hammered, as you put it, is dangerous though and could result in some shameful grovelling the following day.

I hope that first 'i' was not a typo!

Rule #1 of drinking with clients. Never be drunker than a) everyone else and b) the guy responsible for your next extension.

You don't want to be 'that guy'

If you don't know if you can handle your booze, then you can't. If you can't, take the car so you can't get coerced into silly games.

Wise words. I never drink alcohol around clients - though I'm delighted to buy the champagne for them.
