WORK HAPPY HOUR
The head of our organization arranged a happy hour after work one day with several members of our staff -- it was part meet-and-greet, part business strategy meeting. I was curious if there are etiquette rules for this situation in terms of what you should order to drink and how much. Logic obviously says you shouldn't drink yourself under the table -- or on top of the bar -- but are the "rules" more nuanced than that?

It's a business strategy meeting, so no more than three per hour, with tequila shot chasers (plus any forfeits you have to pay) -- nm

I had a professor suggest this for work parties: scotch, lots of rocks.
