You don't have to drink!

Believe it or not-one of every three people doesn't use alcohol!

This may shock some “social drinkers" who think they have to drink to have fun, to be successful in the foreign affairs profession, to be socially acceptable, but it is true that one-third of the population does not use alcohol.

The following remarks by a Washington newspaper correspondent explain why you don't have to drink and how you don't drink:

I'm a non-drinking member of a profession in which social drinking is de-. manded. I am a Washington newspaperman, covering a political and diplomatic beat.

When I first came to the capital at 23, a decade ago, I was told I'd have to learn to drink, at least enough to be sociable. The cocktail party is Washington's greatest social institution, and newsmen have to attend hundreds of them in the process of cultivating news contacts and making acquaintances among public officials.

In some small towns the drinker

Performance Standards and Special Review Board Precepts have been issued.

The Performance Standards Boards review the files of Foreign Service officers, who have

been placed in the low seven percent of their class, and identify any who, based on documented performance, should be separated from the Service or denied the next periodic step-increase.

Officers who wish to challenge a determination of the Performance Standards Boards that they should be selected out may appeal to a Special Review Board. This Board will review all the information on the performance of appellants considered by the Performance Standards boards and decide whether to uphold or reverse the selection-out determinations of the Performance Standards Boards.

In accordance with provisions of the Privacy Act, access to, and the use of official personnel records is restricted to those persons who have a legitimate need to see the record'' in performance of their official duties.

Employees are not permitted to withdraw their own personnel folder. However, they may request access to any and all official personnel records maintained on them through their career development officer.

The performance folder of a Foreign Service employee will not be transferred to any other agencies except the Agency for International Development and the U.S. Information Agency in accordance with the provisions of existing interagency agreements. (FAMC-709)

may still be frowned on, but not here in the city. Drinking is considered

smart.

How can a non-drinker justify his principles in a society where drinking has become so widely accepted? How can he resist social pressure? Let's face it. It isn't easy to refuse. I had lots of uncomfortable moments till I got my social bearings sufficiently to know how to cope with the problem.

In the first place you have to decide whether you're going to drink or not drink. I made up my mind rather strongly on that when I was going to college. I knew a couple guys who were expelled from a small church college for drunkenness. They didn't look very good the night they tore up the library on what was supposed to be a hilarious spree. For one, it meant the ruin of what could have been a promising law career. He never went back to college.

I knew a congressman's son, a brilliant boy, who first flunked law school, then was court-martialed as an army officer simply because he couldn't stay away from beer. He caused his father terrible anguish and finally woke up to the fact that he was ruining his life.

For awhile after graduation I was breaking my way into journalism as a general assignments reporter; and as city editor of a small Minnesota paper, I had to cover police court. There I really saw the cost to our society of letting beer and liquor become a controlling part of the American way.

I would see not only those whose lives had been sacrificed on alcohol's altar-the white-pallored, trembling stumblebums and floozy, unkempt women-but also those who travel in the more respectable circles of society. They're the ones who never get their names in the papers because they're too influential with the editor. They presented a pathetic sight as they paid fines for "speeding," "disorderly conduct," or some other minor charge a friendly prosecutor would agree to put on the books.

But the police officers and reporters present knew what really happenedthe drunken brawl, the wild orgy that went on until police were finally called to break it up. Hollow laughs couldn't hide the sordid truth of what police had seen.

Worst were the accident cases.

They'd come in from the hospital in bandages and splints to be arraigned for drunken driving or manslaughter. You'd hear the widow of the man who'd been killed tell through puffed lips of that last terrible moment when the other car veered across the center line.

Not everyone gets indoctrination into the costs of alcohol via the public court, though our courts are open any morning you care to go and see the sordid story. It's a good antidote to the men of distinction" ads.

No, not everyone who drinks is going to end up in police court, but none of them who do ever thought they were going to.

The ironic fact that really becomes apparent after you have learned to refuse liquor at any and all occasions is that you don't have to drink to be sociable after all. You can, if pressed, explain with just enough obvious irritation to cause the host to drop the subject, that you simply don't like to drink. Ask for ginger ale. They always have it-for chasers.

Nobody shuns you. You don't lose friends and you definitely gain influence. I don't care what the drinker says to cover up. He has an inner respect for the man who doesn't drink and won't compromise on the issue. The man who won't yield to pressure on that issue isn't likely to yield to temptation or mob pressure on others, and people know it.

The young professional or businessman, no matter what field he's in, can build respect and prestige faster by refusing to drink than through all the sociable cocktails he can possibly imbibe. And young wives when entertaining need make no apology for refusing to serve alcohol. You make a fatal mistake the minute you apologize for taking the abstinence stand.

The Civil Service Commission has reported that a net decrease of 439 employees during November 1975 lowered total Federal civilian employment to 2,876,055. Included in the overall November total were workers exempted from agencies' personnel ceilings in the Youth and Worker Trainee Opportunities Programs, who totaled 23,140, including 2,395 in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

Foreign Service promotions

President Ford last month nominated 544 Foreign Service officers for promotion. The promotions result from the findings of the 1975 Foreign Service Selection Boards.

The effective date will be announced after Senate approval and attestation by the President. As the NEWSLETTER went to press, the Senate had not acted on the nominations.

In a related action, Deputy Under Secretary for Management Lawrence S. Eagleburger approved the promotions for 234 Foreign Service Staff officers, 218 Foreign Service Reserve officers, 42 Foreign Service Reserve officers with unlimited tenure, effective February 15.

These promotions are also the result of the findings of the 1975 Selection Boards.

Both the FSO list and the FSSO/ FSR/FSRU lists were published as special supplements to the January NEWSLETTER.
