[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to run in the same circles as Ashley.  It's a work hard , party hard lifestyle for many.  I agree this is a warning to us all to watch out more for our friends and colleagues and speak up, take keys, get them a cab etc when we need to. [/quote]

Is it possible to work hard but not party hard in those circles? In other words, do you get left out (not promoted) if you don't party hard?[/quote]

I too "run in those circles," and I can't even remember the last time I've been hammered or stayed out past 11 pm.  I am considered pretty successful, certainly at least on the same level as Ashley Turton.  I do receptions or dinners out once or twice a week and occasional weekends away, but I very rarely have more than a glass or two of wine.  Most of my peers have families too and we all spend a lot of hours at work, so everyone understands about wanting to get home.  When I was a staffer in my 20s heavy partying was the norm but it's not that way anymore.

I know a few people who do regularly stay out super late and binge drink and they are kind of a joke.  You just can't do an effective job at this level when you're partying like that.  This is why I'm inclined to think Ashley Turton's alcohol level was an aberration rather than a reflection of a habit.  I didn't know her personally but she had a great reputation and I'd be surprised if she was that much of a party girl.  [/quote]
