Social events for your work can be great opportunities to relax, enjoy yourself, and build camaraderie with your colleagues, but they can also get you in trouble if you’re not careful.  Here are some simple company or business event rules:

1. Use the two drink max rule, or if you have low tolerance, then soda is probably what you want.

2. Remember: no matter your surrounding, you are still at work.

3. Don’t be the last one at the bar, because being so probably means you broke the first two rules.

4. Have fun.

5. Make sure someone else is “that guy or gal” everyone is talking about the next morning.

Take it from the boss of that guy or gal, the story never has a good ending when it’s you.
