You aren't from a small town/college, are you?
No matter what you do, it is going to reflect on you, and you can't divide your life into layers like that. I could say "I'm not going to drink around my coworkers" and run into one of them in a bar when I'm smashed. The whole point people are trying to make is if you think something is that wrong, you shouldn't do it at all. If you think getting drunk is so bad that it would have repercussions at your job, YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT AT ALL.
I'm sorry, but this must be a stupid Southern thing, and I'm really glad no one ever tried to shove it down my throat.
