In an attempt to win the argument, charlee808 employed a rhetorical argument: "Do you only buy drinks for ladies because you want to be more than "just friends"? Remember, this also includes drinks bought for co-workers, friends, and family members."

Since you're not following the CONTEXT of this debate, let me make this clear: The scenario I describe (as does the article) does not involve family members or friends. On the other hand...YES, it's very plausible that people might have sexual desires regarding their non-familial co-workers and, therefore, may invite them out for a drink with the inhibited desires to engage in "taboo" sex with their co-worker. That happens over and over in countless work environments across around the world. Where have you been?

The whole purpose of having those drinks is to "loosen up," after all. What happens later...blame it on the alcohol, not on the guy! Although he may have offered to buy the drink, it was the woman who said "Okay."
