Being it's that time of year again many of you may have already faced the age old decision of whether or not to go your office Christmas or New Years party.

Damn polls! Why can't you edit the question line?

Yes, you should go. No, you should not drink/drink much.
This is the opportunity to show your boss that you are more than a mindless drone and that you actually have social skills.

They are 2 different things......
Sure I go to my works xmas party, we take the afternoon off and all go for a buffet lunch as some random golf course.
You have a single drink if any, have lunch, then go home. Beats staying at work.
New years party....as in new years eve? No chance I want to waste that with my coworkers

Our company also doesn't have Christmas parties, mainly due to liability issues with drinking and driving. Those of us that get along well will get together for dinner/drinks in the evening on our own time without company sanction so there are no liability issues.
Hell yeah:thumb: lots of drunk horny office girls! Something about xmas makes girls especially horny.
my company throws huge hotel bashes every year for xmas. it's pay for ur own drinks, but everyone just ends up bringing their own stuff anyway. usually get a room at the hotel for the nite. get ur drink/grub/dance on at the party. of course take it easy with the drinks at the actual party, then go balls to the wall at the after party in the room. and hey, if u happen to be that mistake the hot girl in the office makes..... at least u'll be prepared. lol.

Totally. That's pretty much what I did. Gawd, some people never fail to entertain by making fools of themselves every year. The whole thing was always equally enlightening and disturbing. I saw some pretty crazy stuff, I always wondered if they'd regret it once they sobered up. Considering they'd do the same thing the following year, my guess is they either didn't care or just didn't remember. I know I wasn't the only one to look at the director very differently on Monday after watching her have a great time at the party, getting wasted and spending a good part of the evening groping and putting the moves on one of the very married managers. Ugh.
Definitely go. You need a REALLY good excuse if you don't want to go (ie someone's death bed or out of the country) because it doesn't look very good. And if you go, don't drink at all - or no more than 1 or 2 glasses.
It's much better to be the one who remembers others making fools of themselves.
IMO anyway.Edited to add:
Just read your reply now. Totally agree. (wow did I just write that?!lol
