Have you ever attended a work event and ended up a little over-refreshed?
Yeah, me too.
But have you ever been a little over-refreshed at a really important work event, where you're scheduled to make a speech in front of cut-throat colleagues, important clients and the international press?
Yeah, me neither.
But then I'm not Toronto Design Council President Robin Kay who launched Toronto Fashion Week last week with a drunken speech that became a major scandal in the local media and left me pondering whether drinking on the job is ever in style.

I understand needing a bit of liquid courage, but come on!
It's never in fashion and that's why business and booze should never mix.
I have never even gotten tipsy at a work function. I just never wanted to go there and then regret my actions. Not a good idea.
I love "over-refreshed" heh...
Booze and work don't mix - ever! Thanks for the reminder as we head into the holiday season.
I used to be "over refreshed" a lot when I would attend furniture markets. They want you that way - you tend to buy more! ; ) I never had to make a speech though...
I am SO going to be using that term for drunk now! HA!
I'm good at over refreshing at work functions...but never, never, never if I were to give a speech.
I wouldn't even drink at my sister's wedding (and there were plenty of reasons to drink. believe me), because I had to give the maid of honor speech.
(Found you from Mom Grind, by the by)
Never ever classy or cool to give a speech drunk... now over refreshing can be done tastefully as well... as long as the boss does not see.. lol
