Don't Drink and Thrive

Research shows that just holding a drink in your hand (and NOT drinking) at a business networking event will reduce your apparent IQ by 10-20 points, and make you less likely to get that great job, or that new client.

So, tell me again why you drink at business functions?  It just doesn't make sense.

Bottom line: never drink at a business function. Period. It's the smart move.
