Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Drunks at office Christmas party

I started a new job back in July, so this was my first (and last) office Christmas party with this bunch and their spouses. The party started at 6:00pm and by 8:30pm, three of them were passed out cold on the floor and two more were puking their guts out on the back lawn. One lady's husband, dude about 50ish years old, wouldn't shut up and kept talking about his farts, the size of his dick, how big her tits are, etc.,and was just making a complete ass of himself. Another guy was hitting on anyone and everyone and getting all grabby and was finally told he needed to leave.

I don't mind having a few drinks, catching a good buzz, and having a good time, but I don't understand drinking to the point of utter stupidity and complete blackout. Gave me a whole new perspective of the people I work with and the idiots they're married to/in a relationship with.

What kind of work do they do?

Strange things happen at office parties.

Stranger things happen at the "after party, party."

You work with deflave?

The most obnoxious dude is a sheriff's deputy. The handsy guy is dating one of the gals from Child Welfare.

lol,....government workers, eh?

Handling your alcohol is a skill set few possess.

Can I get invited to the next one?

I can probably get you Handsy's contact info....

That sux working with Big Stick

F u c k i n’ eh! And losing your s h i t and still being able to pass as buzzed is rare for most.

I don’t know what it is about some people and their booze intake?

Crying, fighting, sluts........ lol.

Sometimes being complete sober watching drinkers get tanked is funny!

Leaving wasn't an opiton?

One to 3 times a year rookies. Either that or free booze.

I worked at an engineering firm that had a surveying dept. as well.

The company threw a lavish Christmas party with everyone invited. Free Bar.

Holy crap! That party was famous far and wide by the next day.

I can't even begin to describe the depravity. Fights. Puking. Kissing. Groping. Crying. Destruction. DWI arrests. Public Intoxication arrests... It was epic!


The following year, we got a Christmas Bonus addition in the amount they would have spent on the party...


Moral of the story is.. Don't invite surveyors to a party with free alcohol.

Things like that happen often in "the land of liberals, hippies and...."

This is the reason many companies have dropped holiday parties. Have been held liable for the carnage of drunk drivers leaving a company sponsored event. Along with sexual harassment claims.

Being the new guy kind of played into me even being there in the first place (not much of a party crowd kinda guy, but figured I better make an appearance), but I was home by 9:30pm. They did have some kickass Tri-Tip, twice baked potatoes, and a bunch of other good stuff to eat, so it wasn't a complete bust.



Bingo, probably on both accounts, but it was all the free booze you wanted.

Few years back I watched a Christmas party get out of hand at a nice restaurant. Boss was HAMMERED. Started schit with the manager and ended up getting knocked the fugg out in front of his wife and employees. It was awesome.

A few of the guys were all apologizing and trying to drag the unconscious jack azz across the parking lot.

Not an office worker but I worked at two companies that had big Christmas parties.
One, a trucking company had canned beer and wine. Most, didnt want to be seen drunk (Trucking company!)
and, they had the ability to shut the alcohol off immediately. They also subsidized our motel room.

The other, a factory, no longer does any of that stuff for us.
Their parties used to get ugly. Mrs. Buck and I would eat, I drank a beer, and left between the
paid entertainment, and the amateur fool show.

I have been to quite a few in my younger days, no good ever came from it that I could tell. Booze brings out the stupid in everyone, it seems.
