Advice that suggests alcohol at office social events should be limited has been met with calls of double standards going on in the highest office in the country. The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) has released data from a recent poll of managers.

Another added: “But it's fine if the alcohol is brought into the office in a suitcase.” That referred to alcohol which was brought in for the Downing Street parties by staff using suitcases.
