According to a new survey, drinking with your boss could help you move up the corporate ladder. Looking to climb the corporate ladder? Perhaps try grabbing a drink with your boss. A new survey found that 49 percent of professionals believe that workplace drinking strengthens work relationships, with a quarter of them (24 percent) saying that it led to better job opportunities. Rehab center Niznik Behavioral Health commissioned the survey, which questioned 1,000 full-time employees across America. “One thing that stood out is drinking with superiors is actually seen as not only acceptable but as a competitive advantage,” Joe Romano, a rep at Niznik Behavioral Health, told The Post. “While fear of judgment and peer pressure is still prevalent, these findings are surprising because the employee-supervisor relationship is traditionally a formal one, but our data is showing that we are moving toward a more lax relationship that is actually beneficial for employees.” However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you should guzzle down the booze with your co-workers. Respondents said they usually kept their happy hours to a two-drink maximum, and they preferred wine and beer over hard liquor.
