As a man who doesn't drink I can't help but feel the problem here isn't drinking with the opposite sex but drinking as part of a business relationship (outside the Christmas party).
I don't think I would be particularly comfortable at such a meeting; If I did drink I'd not enjoy the act and quickly become introverted (I have a low tolerance, I'm not used to it). If I didn't drink I would feel I'm not committing to the social aspect of the meeting.
What's wrong with a working lunch?
- Jasonp 12y agoI think it would be great for my health if my industry didn't run on alcohol. Per my comment above, I am more concerned in this case with unconsciously limiting our opportunities for partnerships, deal, etc, to businesses run by other men just because the current norm frowns on having a drink with women.
