Not everyone drinks, but if you’re going to drink during certain business occasions, it’s important to do it right. No matter what you drink, be aware of how much you drink.

A strong gin martini says that you mean business, and you’re not here to mess around. A classic drink for classy people, you can’t go wrong with a martini. Just remember, never vodka!!
2. Brainstorming On A New Deal
Nothing gets the creative juices flowing like a little tequila! Drink no more than one glass of Don Julio to lower your inhibitions just enough – remember, there are no bad ideas in a brainstorm!
3. Business Dinner
Wine is the perfect drink for a business dinner – it’s an easy conversation starter. Go for a nice vintage but nothing too over the top!
