Dealing With Alcoholics: Can One Go Far in Business if They Drink and Party?
Question by Immortal Cordova: Can one go far in business if they drink and party?
I quit drinking for a time and before I knew it I had my undergrad. I started studying for the GMAT and I started looking at real estate investment opportunities. I then decided I had accomplished a great deal and was entitled to a drink. Well with that first sip my daily workout routine ceased. I stopped looking at the GMAT study guide. It is like alcohol and ambition cannot occupy the same being simultaneously.
Maybe this is just me. Do you know any successful Business people who are heavy drinkers?

Yeah, there may be some- but they can’t hide, they don’t have respect, and sooner or later it bites them in the rear. And I don’t think they were drinking like that when they were on their way up… they just got sloppy when they think they have arrived…
They’ll be on their way down… Way way down sooner or later.
No, being successful in ANYTHING in your life doesn’t mix with being a drunk.
