Well lets see, my first work X-mas party I was 19 (3 years ago) and I took a friend from College. The party was great, it was held at a high end Billards Parlor in SF with an Open Bar! The most embarrassing moment was when they made some annoucements and they annouced that I was by far the youngest one there, and I was drinking! Nobody cared cause they all chuckled and congragulated me on fooling the bartenders. But I didn't get any more alcohol for the rest of the night.
Next years Christmas party I went with a couple of older chicks from work, and my dad, a high up executive for the same company, kept on buying me drinks. This, being when I'm 20, not exactly legal. Then he makes a scene when I tell him I'm gunna need to get a ride home after he gave me my 6th beer. He was pissed that I could not hold my alcohol as well as he could!
Funny thing was, he got pulled over and got a DUI that night.
