Cultivate a notion that the most progressive and innovative business direction and strategy comes from startups whose staff spend all day drinking. The liberation of the drunken frame of mind is such a paradigm jump that it allows escalated creativity plateaux multiplier leverage. Automatically. The downsideeffects of constant drunkenness is simply something you have to live with in this newnewnew economy, if you want to be somewhere else.

Drunk companies will attract insane amounts of instant vc funding, based on the falsehood of free idea flow and telling it how it is, based on the obvious kings new clothes of unshackled irrational ignorance of consequences. This is the ultimate 'what if' attitude. Invest now. Queue here.
