I was in sales at a time when everyone had unlimited expense accounts. It was customary to take customers out to lunch. Everyone drank heavily. I would pick them up at their place of work and drive to whatever restaurant. When lunch was over we were all pretty hammered. All I needed to do was drive home as safely as I could. I would never see in person or speak to a customer on the phone the rest of the day. HOWEVER, I still remember a time when I was dropping off a customer back at work. He was really blasted. I told him DON’T go back inside. Call and tell them that you got sick at lunch. Get yourself a cab home. He didn’t listen and he got fired.
