It\'s not a matter of being a \"stick in the mud\". You are not a guest or a friend, you are working for the couple. You should not be \"having a drink with the B&G\". YOU are not the center of attention. Leave them alone, let the enjoy the very brief reception with their true friends and family.
And it\'s not a just a matter of impairment, however lets say you have a drink and then somehow become responsible for injuring someone, let\'s say you step on grandma\'s foot. Break a bone.

Don\'t you think that the odds of losing that case are exponentially higher than if you had not had a drink?
