When after work drinks go wrong...

Still no update from the OP - poor do!
I imagine the bloke that threw the punches has been fired and people that were there have been told to say nothing.As far as Employment Law goes a work gathering like that is an "extension of the office" so behaviour should in theory be in line with what should go on in the office.
I actually have an office party tomorrow night!
Last christmas party one of our lads had to go off in an ambulance after having way to much and passing out in the bathroom. He was 17 and it was 2 of our managers feeding him shots. Made for interesting conversation on Monday senior managers where not impressed with the whole situation.

Google the Clermont Lounge, it is apparanrently legendary, seeing an older black lady crush a can between her tits was er, unusual.
I stayed with a mate in Atlanta a few years ago, this was on his list of "must see Atlantan sights"! And you say older, she was about 75-80!Mine is also signed. "To Goaty Love Mitsy. Do not swallow this ball."
The truly impressive part of the performance was that the ball hit the ceiling, the floor, and the ceiling again!
A friend who was enjoying the show with me also managed to acquire one and have it autographed.
His girlfriend threw it out on first sight.

Until recently we had a rather passive aggressive chap in our office. He was early 30's but not very glued into the maturity that most are use to in a work environment. He was big into conspiracies and was to our amazement a very vocal supporter of the IRA, hates the "brits" but loves to live in England and enjoys all the benefits of living in a western country. On his first day he was so forceful in his opinions that 9/11 was all an inside job and that I must not care about humanity and how innocent people were killed, irony from an IRA supporter. Then he went on a rampage about the global economy. He wanted to go out for drinks and I had to decline as I can't imagine how angry he must be as a drunk if he was like that sober. Real in your face aggressive with his views.
I'm not sure I could work with someone like that TBH, one of us would end up getting the heave-ho... likely meVandenberg said:
There was another Summer sales conference in Munich that didn't turn nasty but I awoke to find 15 colleagues in my double room, including 3 in the wardrobe, resulting in a 600 euro cleaning bill.
Hahaaa! Brilliant! Are you the long lost brother of Roy Lanchester from Sniff Petrol?I was over in the Gibraltar office last year, and there was a free bar party over the border in Spain. It was excellent with superb tapas, paella and stuff and I got on the Legendario rum and cokes - ones which are 90% rum and 10% coke, as they are in Spain.
It was a top night out, there was a fight and everything. I had foolishly left my hoodie on a table, so it got soaked in booze.
I eventually got over the border at 6.30 am, made it back to my hotel and just chucked my stuff in my bag and went into work where nobody else turned up although I did find one of my colleagues passed out on a picnic table on the roof. Later that day I flew home, unshaven, not had a shower or changed, stinking of booze and wearing the hoody that had all the dried booze on it. I was still absolutely hammered and looked and smelled like a tramp. I don't think the other passengers were impressed. Never again!

Office anything should be treated as if you are still sat in the office imho. Getting ridiculously pissed, starting fights etc should get you fired.
TX.
I have had stick off my managers for not getting wTX.
kered, ended up the same every time, in the pub, then for a meal, then more booze, had a couple early doors (i.e. two pints) and then a meal, went int he pub, soft drinks and then drove home, otherwise the logistics got more complicated just to get into a state, on a work night that I didnt want to be in.One of my mosses always looks a broken man, slurring, lolling, falling over at midnight and then is up fresh as a daisy the following day, completely able to do his work like nothing happened having drunk what would put me out of action for two days, gallons and gallons of cooking lager, never the stronger ones, always Fosters or crap like that, one after the other.
Hace seen some of them in the past at least driving the following morning, I was meant to pick them up one morning, from a hotel after one session as they were staying locally to me, couldnt drive, had to get a lift in myself then got some stick for not turning up, but no way am I driving when I am more than likely way over the limit still, they had to get a taxi, it was expensed and had a minimal inconvenience, I would have more than likely not had a problem but never taking that risk, than night it long forgotten more or less but I would still have a ban on my record, huge insurance and be driving a 1 litre supermini if anything, not forgetting the risk of killing someone.
First and last company Christmas do with a free bar. The majority of us had our fill gratefully, but about 9:30 you could see who was a proper prat when they had a drink in them. The sensible ones ducked out in to hastily called taxis shortly after.
The place where we had the do was a local rugby club who had quite a large building to hand, so hired it out for functions.
A few nasty fights, a good few arrests, 4 police cars and 2 big blue fun buses involved in the end.
Heard all this second hand, but I know there were a good few people who were 'encouraged to resign'.

Yeah, those WI Christmas functions can get a bit out of hand at times.The place where we had the do was a local rugby club who had quite a large building to hand, so hired it out for functions.

One lad got so pissed at our Christmas do he set fire to his car.
Seriously.
Apparently he wanted the insurance money, but the police found him about 10 yards away from his car which was now fully ablaze sticking of petrol and far too drunk to have moved the car to where it was found.
Dont think he ever came back.

I know someone who found himself in this situation recently. Currently looking at a manslaughter charge. It isn't like it looks on the telly.
Jesus, I can't even imagine to think what that would be like. How did it happen?

I know a guy who is a big drinker and has gone from a slim, normal bloke to having a massive beer belly and the complexion of a Ribena Berry, he drinks every night and then goes mental for big nights out, its weird as people sort of expect his "antics",
On the mic at a Christmas do shouts "You're all a bunch ofs"
Offering to "ruin" female colleagues
Shouting "Do you swallow" at a group of the HR ladies.
At the end of the day he has never touched anyone which I think is the line that cannot be crossed, words can be brushed off a bit more easily than anything physical, especially when almost everyone else is usually pissed anyway but more worringly I can see him living much longer, he looks utterly dreadful.

If I worked at your place, I think I'd end up buying him lots of drinks just to see him go off on one.

Really? I imagined heavy drinking had a lot to do with him getting elected.
Twice. With a bigger mandate this time than the first time. I'm no Labour supporter ( nor am I a Tory either) but he seems FA more in touch with the general population than the Tories and a third of the Labour Party.There was talk of the Tories calling an early election if Corbyn got re-elected. I wish they would because I reckon Jeremy could cause them problems.
