How to be a Pussy, by Dana Mattioli

Let me preface this by saying I've never pulled a John Rolfe and sat with two MDs at a cocktail table and pissed into a beer bottle (and on their shoes) at the Christmas Party. But I've also never under-utilized an open bar, and don't plan on putting a halt to my single-barrel lunches.

So on that note, Dana Mattioli at CareerJournal.com lays out a perfect plan on how to lose your man card, burn out faster and stunt your i-banking career growth. Enjoy!

Happy Hour: Meeting up with colleagues is not the same as hanging out with personal friends. Let your co-workers order first, so you can gauge what they are drinking, Mr. Karsh suggests. Don't follow the lead if the drink of choice is beyond your normal alcohol tolerance. "If everyone is ordering iced tea, don't order a Long Island iced tea," he says.
And this, on how to blow an interview:

Avoid drinking during an interview over a meal. Candidates need to be on top of their game. If the interviewer offers, politely decline, even if your host indulges.
