MEMO - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TO: All Staff
FROM: Julie Tudor, Head of Development, Corporate Headquarters
RE: Our Alcohol Consumption Policy
There have been several questions as to the proper course of strategy to take in preparation for our company-wide meeting on the 19th. Following is a brief summary of our recommendations (please see your employee manual for a more expansive explanation). (Please also note that all comments in parentheses are my own, personal additions, thus psychologically assuring you, as employee of this firm, of my personal interest in you, thereby creating a mutual feeling of trust between us while I maintain the upper hand. Neat, huh?)
WHEREAS all staff shall engage in the consumption of alcoholic beverages in a convivial atmosphere of solidarity for the purpose of celebrating April birthdays on April 19, 2003; and
WHEREAS our firm is interested in maintaining the health of its valuable employees so they may continue to serve as employees to their maximum potential for many years while we reap the benefits and suck the sap form their young lives; and
WHEREAS Off The Wagon Saloon does not openly post the guidlines which list the proper procedure for maintaining the ideal balance between sobriety and "fucked up"; our firm
THEREBY submits to you a list of strategies to follow prior to, during and after the consumption of massive amounts of alcohol:
1. DRINK water - lots and lots of water (this will help keep you hydrated, assisting the release of toxins and lubricating your insides, thus preventing one of those crushing headaches associated with a classic hangover);
2. EAT light, balanced meals and snacks throughout the day (though at least one containing a good amount of starch to help keep your tummy's contents all in one place if it should come to that);
3. DRINK water between/with your booze of choice (I'm a Jameson's rocks with a water back kinda girl, and yes, you may buy me as many drinks as you like - it may aid you in future promotions, if I can remember who you are the next day);
4. URINATE often (alcohol is a diuretic, if you're well hydrated this part should be easy - just be sure to watch your aim as your motor skills will most likely degenerate through the course of the evening); and
5. DRINK at least two more glasses of water and a SMALL dose of Advil or Tylenol (if you've an easily irritated tum-tum), before passing out (choke it down if you have to, make your roommate or fuck buddy administer it to you, but do this and you'll need not worry about a hangover the next day). If you prefer to skip the painkiller out of fear of further liver damage, please do still drink your water. (Also, if you're concerned about liver damage - DO NOT DRINK IN THE FIRST PLACE, IDIOT!!!)
That being said, please remember our company's motto, "We keep good things alive, indefinitely".
I and my fellow administrators are truly looking forward to applying this strategy with you next weekend! Please continue to stay focused on your tasks in the meantime.
