I worked at a design Co once where they gave everyone a bottle of patron for a gift. I didn't want that crap, it's no don Julio, so I look at it and say "I can't take this, I'm sober" just to be an ass but they took it like I was in recovery, started to apologize profusely. A few minutes later they came back with a check for $200, a much better gift. I never drank at work functions anyways.

And your name “Blackout” haha. You’re committed to the bit!

Haha, yes ... "bit".

$200 vs. A shitty bottle of over priced tequila that's $60.. You came out way on top in that exchange

Its the added guilt of thinking you gifted alcohol to a recovering alcoholic. Also legal issues, if its the US I assume one could sue for some bullshit.

Man I wish I never drank at work functions.... All my most embarrassing drunken moments were caused by open bars at work events....
