I think she is not an HR person, but is an addict to alcohol or any other drugs. Dev Narayan Shukla Executive A/c

Hi Komal,
I'm a senior manager with a technical background. Believe me, I had Chivas Regal continuously for 45 days along with a sheikh from Dubai to strike a deal successfully every day during office hours. Being only a social drinker, however, my reputation got screwed up. Especially female colleagues are afraid to talk to me even after that incident.
As an HR person, especially when people take you as an example, you should refrain from this at any cost.

On one side, we are reciting the teachings of Mahatma on prohibition, and on the other side, we are justifying the use of alcohol in the pretext of corporate behavior. Our nation's civilization is far ahead of Western society, and refusal of drinks is in line with our culture.
I do not find any logic behind mandatory drinking. If it is a culture of a particular organization or the country of its origin, they should also give importance to the cultural values of the society of this land. Drinking is not only forbidden in our society but also has a very bad effect on the health of the drinker.
We have already started accommodating Coca-Colas, pizzas, burgers, etc., in our daily life and facing their consequences; likewise, alcohol is also trying to seep in with its ugly head. Let us unitedly crush it. Any organization that insists on cultural drinking should be banned from operating in this country.

Dear,
I agree with Asha and Alwar. Due to avoiding drinking, I am also unable to attend the party and meetings on many occasions in my previous and current organizations. My boss very much likes to drink in the star hotels. I think we should make ourselves flexible because there are various fruit juices and soft drinks, etc., for sharing with our seniors. Instead of all, it would be better to avoid such circumstances.
With best regards,

In my view, it is not something that should be hurting. In recent times, I had been to Germany, and while sitting with Western colleagues there, I was the odd man out due to being a teetotaler. Perhaps the organization intends to ask this question to understand how individuals would handle the pressure of such a situation. In short, to assess adaptability.

Thank you, Santosh, for clarifying that this might be the condition for recruiting in many other companies. However, my concern is whether they will also expect something more by describing themselves as a rapidly growing company in the future. What if they ask for additional requirements in the future? In that case, I will resign on the very same day because I will never compromise on my values and ethics. I am a little apprehensive about taking such a risk.

Hi, Komal,
As part of today's cultural developments - to put it right - cultural changes, employees may feel comfortable and expect the HR who can also drink along with them. However, making it a qualification for getting a job is totally unfair. Companies with such requirements must be disclosed so that other prospective candidates will not depend on their goodwill.
