Well I got offered a few jobs after a couple of vodka and cokes so it doesn't defeat the purpose.

I remembered since it was vodka I drank not pints. 🥃

if the person interviewing you gets a whiff of alcohol then it defeats the purpose of going to the interview.

In your case you either stopped drinking at the right moment or could handle the amount, breath mint etc. Imagine if you went in sloshed or the interviewer smelled it off you. Hence, it would defeat the purpose.

The fact is I drank and got away with it.

To me as well, what does that tell you that you can't even hold off for about an hour? Better off going for the pint after if that's what you want.

It would be funny if while you are having a pint in the pub before the interview, there was 3 people having coffee, then you meet them in the interview. 😂

Have you got some sort of mental issue or something? You're the one who made this thread and all you want to do is go on about how you had a few before an interview and it was great.

Then when others say its a bit risky what's your reply? "The fact is I got away with it" - are you 12?

Be honest now, the only reason this thread exists is because you want to tell the world you had some alcohol before an Interview and defend that choice at every opportunity. Not all your dogs are barking.

Before interviewing? Nope. Afterwords? Sometimes to celebrate (or the opposite).

Yes, in 2006, I was not doing great at interviews, nerves were bad, so had a couple of scoops before the interview, got most questions wrong, but the manager liked the cut of my jib and took a punt on me.

It was for a four star boutique hotel in temple bar. It was a great opportunity to progress.

It was just the once. But I've no regrets
