Summary: Alcohol Should Never Be Present In A Business Setting

Alcohol helps people remove their barriers; lose their inhibitions, and form friendships, relationships, and acts as a social lubricant. In Australia many business deals have been conducted over a drink or two.

Being that alcohol is a drug, I would have to say that this “drug” is universally accepted as a rite of passage, social status, and essential to most celebrations. One difference alcohol is considered different from other drugs is that alcohol is advertised almost everywhere sort of shoved down our throat via media. There are fun and catchy commercials that even show dancing emoji’s and it’s scary because emoji’s are very popular with kids and teens. Even Chuck E Cheese’s “Where a Kid can be a Kid” serves alcohol to adults, but one may think there can be some places where a child doesn’t have be exposed to a parent drinking alcohol and just focus on their child and having fun. However, alcohol is seen as so much of a coping mechanism that it’s

A social problem due to alcoholism would be an alcoholic at a wedding reception. He could drink too much and jeopardize the party.

The following is a case study of a male employee, drinking beers at work while working on a case study. His behavior addressed by his employer, as a result of his conduct. Even though he appears to be fully functional, his employer was not happy and is concerned about his employee’s wellbeing as well as his industry’s reputation. The employee sees alcohol used among employees during work as an expensive problem for the industry. Drinking alcohol while doing a case study can cause drinking problems for the employee. To illustrate the point, socializing during Christmas parties, happy hours and other work activities are contributing factors that could create an alcohol misuse within the workplace. After all, this employee is drinking while conducting a case study; this can place significant risks for the industry, especially, when the drinking in the workplace is a support by the industry. In this example, it is assumed that the use of alcohol while working is prevalent and this assumption is practical for this employee to do ordinarily during work hours. What can the employer do to address drinking problems at the workplace during work? And is this program operated in-house with a confidential service for all employees? These issues can impact injuries, cause low employee morale, jeopardized the productivity of the industry.

Like it or not alcohol is part of the fabric of American Culture. People drink at parties, weddings work functions and any other events. And medical

Throughout the history of sociological studies done on parties and party culture a lot of it has been done on issues that surround a large population of youth that spend a lot of time at parties. Often or not these studies usually include drug use, alcohol use, social interactions, sexual activity, criminal activity etc. A lot of these studies have already been concluded but not many have asked why do people party? Do people party to have a good time and “blow off steam” or do people go to parties because everyone else is and they feel the need to go in order to fit in socially? With the research we have found it seems to be that people are usually going to parties as a way to relief stress or they either don’t go to parties at all.

Next, by lowering the drinking age, it would reduce college binge drinking by promoting safer drinking habits. “The problem here is obvious. If a 21-year-old woman overindulges at the bar, the bartender, friends, or even other patrons can encourage her to stop. If she becomes ill or injured, someone is there to help” (Hall). Drinking legally in public can be beneficial in saving lives and an overall sense of safety for young adults. A bartender is responsible for each person they serve and for their safety. If you had too much to drink at a party would your friends assume the responsibility of your well being? Ordinarily, a bartender will execute everything in their

In America, drinking is like a sport. It’s an activity, it’s fun and we love to do it. Drinking is all around us, it’s a social norm. We drink at family parties, sports events, restaurants, etc. Almost anywhere there is alcohol beverages being served. Americans are known for being “binge drinkers” or a bunch of “Alcoholics”. This dates all the way back to our founding fathers. Our first president George Washington spent a full 7% of his income while in office on booze. His infamous farewell party tab totaled over $15,000 present-day dollars just on alcohol (Smith 1). John Adams and his family were also big drinkers, Moreau de St. Méry, a

**No/Limited Alcohol** Select hosts allow moderate drinking, but drinking in excess is one of the surest ways to find oneself uninvited in the future. This goes back to consent and how a clear head is required to fully consent to any

In the United States alone the drinking patterns throughout history have changed dramatically to reflect the times. Starting out in colonial times the usage of alcohol use was seen as a blessing, and harmless to society. It was acceptable to drink while at work, and during social events, however drinking alone was highly frowned upon. Many early religions believed that alcohol was a gift from God, “man should partake of God’s gift with out wasting or abusing it”#. To enhance and encourage the social

It can become very hard at a party for you to limit or even avoid the situation of drinking and drugs. Everyone has a way of manipulating people and peer pressuring

• The awareness of alcohol consumption can be harmful to personal healthiness and society (drunk-driving, violation etc.) may have unfavourable effects on beer companies.

Hello Jacqueline, the alcohol industry could be considered as a legal, but socially irresponsible product. I believe that the responsibility should be the customer not the merchant. Extreme alcohol ingestion could cause serious harm and the alcohol industry knows it. One thing that the alcohol business does is using corporate social responsibility (CSR) tactics trying to portray themselves as great corporate residents to their stakeholders (Fooks, Gilmore, Collin, Holden & Lee, 2013). I have experienced alcohol abuse in my personal life. Many of my family members as well as myself have fought with the addiction of alcohol. One thing that the alcohol industry does not do is put a gun to a person's head and make them buy or drink their

I understand that, at least for me at the time, drinking was a way of connecting with friends, to socialize with strangers, and to alleviate the shyness. But in hindsight, I noticed there was a change from wanting to needing a drink.  It was a way to deal with the tree of work and life itself. Years later now my wife and son are in the picture, I do my best not drink "that much" at home, but still finding a myriad of excuses to do so.

The alcohol plays an important role in enhancing the enjoyment and quality of life, for instance, they could create the human relations easily, can facilitate relaxation, can benefit your health if drink in moderation, and increase the pleasure of eating.
