In Pennsylvania, where our favorite paper company (occasionally) conducts business, Section 4-493 of the Liquor Code makes it unlawful to “permit any liquor or malt or brewed beverages to be . . . furnished or given, to any person visibly intoxicated.” Long before Oscar relieved him behind the bar, Robert should have known that Erin and Meredith had reached (or exceeded) their respective limits. But to the credit of both him and Andy, the company’s upper management such as it is — saw to it that the most impaired team members made it home safely. Call it a best practice.

Of course, if the CEO had given the receptionist more than a chaste, curbside hug, or if the Regional Manager had allowed an intoxicated employee to drive her minivan full of “valuables” home, we’d be looking at the situation in a different light. As it is, the potential workers’ compensation claims flowing from some vigorous air-guitaring to Mannheim Steamroller (or was that Trans-Siberian Orchestra?) are probably manageable.
