Monday Morning Mentor: Never Drink at Work Events-EVER

Published on: 13th April, 2026

Monday Morning Mentor: Never Drink at Work Events Jason Wright introduces a new “Monday Morning Mentor” segment on the Jason Wright Show and shares a core lesson: never drink at work events. He recounts being 23 at his first convention, drinking free alcohol, and then driving colleagues—including a vice president—while intoxicated, followed by intense next-day regret and anxiety. He describes repeatedly replaying conversations after professional outings, the peer pressure and judgment non-drinkers can face, and an embarrassing incident getting sick in a vice president’s hotel room. Wright explains that setting personal rules (e.g., no weeknight drinks, no work-event drinking, 90-day fast) earns respect and reduces pressure. He says he has avoided alcohol for over eight years, citing peace of mind, professionalism, and career protection, especially for young workers. 00:00 Monday Morning Mentor Intro 00:41 Free Drinks First Mistake 01:08 Driving With The VP 01:47 The Next Day Anxiety 02:39 Why Saying No Feels Weird 03:20 Guinness Disaster Story 04:00 Use A Personal Rule 04:43 Eight Years Alcohol Free 05:34 Advice For Young Pros 06:27 Wrap Up And Ratings
