NEW YORK, December 13 /PRNewswire/ -- THIS IS A MULTIVU SPECIAL REPORT. THE HOLIDAY OFFICE PARTY CAN BE CRITICAL TO YOUR CAREER-AND MAY PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES TO SHINE.

THE FIRST RULE OF THE HOLIDAY OFFICE PARTY: ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY AND DON'T COME LATE. WEAR BUSINESS ATTIRE-AND KNOW WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T TALK ABOUT.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE FOOD-DON'T OVEREAT. ALCOHOL MAY BE A SOCIAL LUBRICANT, BUT KNOW YOUR LIMITS AND PACE YOURSELF.

CAROLYN PANZER, SENIOR VICE-PRESIDENT, DIAGEO NORTH AMERICA:

"First and most importantly, never drink on an empty stomach and continue to eat food throughout the party, and avoid the salty food because that's just going to make you want to drink more."

AND IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SAFE DRINKING JUST BEER OR WINE-GUESS AGAIN.

"The holiday's are a happy time, keep them happy, know what you're drinking, drink responsibly, know standard servings of beer, wine and spirits all have exactly the same amount of alcohol."

FINALLY, AVOID ROMANTIC OVERTURES. YOUR CO-WORKERS AND SUPERVISORS WILL NOTICE AND SOME DEPARTMENTS HAVE A NO-DATING POLICY.
