I’ve heard that you can trick kids into acting drunk by giving them fake booze but telling them that it’s real.
Anecdotally, a friend of mine once drank two beers at his 21st birthday party. At the time he weighed 250 lbs. He immediately got “drunk”, took his shirt off and fell asleep on the floor. It was amusing to watch for a bit, then it was just annoying.
When I worked at CompUSA, everyone had sales and card metrics. Including the warehouse crew. Who were virtually never on the floor during operating hours. They were often called out during store meetings, and the manager didn’t like their “excuse” of always being in the back.
