How To Drink at Work, “Mad Men”-Style

This video may get you on the weekend mentality train.  The women at Double X, Slate‘s women’s issues offshoot, decided to hold a Mad Men experiment.  It was simple enough: at Sterling Cooper, the 9-to-5 workday is more or less a drinking game.  Take a drink every time you secure an account, take a drink every time you lose an account because you were too drunk to do your job effectively, take a drink every time you’re in the same room with one or more other employees, and so on.

The Double X ladies decided to do the same one day, to see whether their at-work productivity would falter.  We get some fun veritas in vino like this: ”I think puking is more acceptable than pissing yourself.”  Obviously, it is a societal failing that we are not equally and fully accepting of both.

Anyway, see how the women fared on the Danny DeVito Workday Diet, after the jump.
