I’m kinda drunk right now and wanted to see who all drank alcohol on these forums? I drank tonight after getting out of REG because I was so mad at the exam even though I probably have no reason to be. I’m in a college town and for some reason feel like I should drink, but every morning after I always regret it. I waste my money on alcohol and spend hours around assholes and stuck up bitches who only want me for my money. I really wish I could meet a nice girl who wanted me for who I am, instead of having to play some stupid game with her. I have anxiety if I’m not around people and feel like I have to drink in order to be sociable and what not, even though I know that I don’t really need to. Anyway, I don’t know what else I have to say other than I’m going to feel really bad tomorrow morning and will be laying in bed all day. Thank God for my good health, loving family, excellent education, and the ability to pass this damn exam.

Passing out…

It's busy season. If you're not drinking regularly, you're not working in public accounting.

(I'm also not taking any exams during busy season because there's no way I'm working late AND studying effectively. I passed BEC in November and took FAR at the end of January and am still waiting to hear back on that.)

I'm a fan of alcohol.

I'm not really getting drunk though or anything like that while studying for REG.

I don't really drink much because of studying. I may have a glass of wine with dinner or a margarita but after tests I am a big fan of day drinking at brunch. The best part of taking a test is the large amount of Blackberry Mimosas at Royal Oak Bar and Grill. Seriously.

I used to drink a lot in school and for the first few years after. Age is a mofo and I can't do that stuff anymore. However I do enjoy medical grade mj.

@makinthemagic

Aren't there drug tests at your firm or upon employment?

@CashMoney10 At my work, if you don't test positive for something you fail and don't get hired

Not really but no they don't test. I have yet to confirm with everyone but based upon the fact that most people are under 30 and creative types, I'd say around 25% of the place would drop dirty and another 25%+ might be clean but wouldn't say no if offered some num nums.

I've never heard of a public accounting firm drug testing FWIW.
