Default Optimal Holiday Party Drinking Strategy?

After watching my brother fall in to sloppy drunken mess on Friday by double-fisting champagne and grey goose on the rocks at our company christmas party i am turning to oot for the optimal drinking strategy for a holiday party where your goal is to get drunk but not to a point where you are slurring and booting on the front lawn.

i propose -

1. a glass of champagne to start (for the toasts and crap)
2. followed by grey goose and soda (or other clear liqour drink)
3. switching to beer after three or four cocktails with a solid buzz to keep it going but not pushing you over the edge.
4. avoiding shots after switching to beer

thoughts?

I think number 3 is going to be difficult to keep to a minimum. Once you get that far, it's hard to slow down.

So in conclusion, just accept the fact that you're going to get drunk on Christmas and it's gonna be awesome. Yup.

If your goal is to get drunk at a company Christmas party.... um, cool.

Advice: Keep a full glass in your hand at all times.

The first one you pick up.

I like the idea in general; getting sloppy in front of your boss can't be the greatest plan in the world.

Pulling off #4 after doing 1,2,3 will be near impossible though.

Ditto here. It's hard for me to picture getting drunk as a goal, too. It just happens, if I want it to. And sometimes even if I don't.

This actually isn't bad. You could always throw in some glasses of water to break things up. So long as you iron your skirt first.

Confining onesself to clear liquor drinks is a sign of weakness.

Hehe, my strategy for the company office party last night was to get wasted as quickly as possible. I needed a plan because service in Malta is kind of slow.

It worked.

The whole telling my boss exactly why I am frustrated with the situation at the moment, nearly getting in a fight with a co-worker, then drunkenly going around hugging all my friends wasn't part of the plan, but hey, I still had a job this morning.

In fact, the japanese way of getting drunk and telling your boss the truth is a great custom (even if swedish companies don't officially have that).
