Ep. 129: Changing An Unhealthy Drinking Culture At Work

What does an unhealthy drinking culture at work look like? 

• Is drinking a company-organized activity? Are company events centered around alcohol? 
• Are new employees taken out for drinks, team bonding gatherings hosted at a bar or holiday parties at a winery?
• Is drinking normalized as a coping mechanism for stress at work? Do you hear colleagues discussing “needing a drink” after a tough day or being hungover on a Monday morning?
• Is alcohol the reward for a job well done? Are champagne bottles left on desks after a big project or alcohol brought in to toast to a big win?
• Is alcohol available in the office or brought in for social events during office hours? Is “Beer on Tap” a company perk or is there a weekly happy hour in the office on Fridays?
• Are you expected to take clients out drinking as part of the job? 
• Do you feel pressure to drink at company events or do people throw around the phrase “Work Hard. Play Hard” to describe the company culture? 

If you have an unhealthy drinking culture at work, the good news is that there are steps that you can take to change it, navigate drinking events at work alcohol-free and access support if you’re trying to change your relationship with alcohol. 

Tessa Lowe is here to help. She’s an ex-wine mom that hit her own personal rock bottom in December of 2020 and now works with both individuals and employers to help create both personal and organizational change.
