Free-flowing alcohol during work trips that hits different because corporate is paying. It’s that specific type of drunk you get when your company pays for drinks during business travel—the combination of expense accounts, hotel proximity to the bar, and peer pressure from colleagues leads to overindulgence—characterized by lowered inhibitions due to zero financial consequences and the weird social dynamics of drinking with coworkers in a soulless hotel bar 800 miles from home. Side effects include attempting to pack your suitcase at 3am, discovering you’ve been wearing your conference lanyard for 72 hours straight, and wondering if you’ve actually left the conference/hotel building complex since check-in.
