It can be hard to get through the work day when there's less of a social atmosphere. That's why we recommend scheduling some time for a virtual happy hour with your colleagues! This is a great way to stay connected, unwind after a long day of work, and build stronger relationships with the people you work with. Here are some ideas on how to make the most out of your virtual happy hour:

1. Organize bi-weekly or monthly Zoom calls with people on your team where you can dedicate time to steer the conversation away from work and get more personal
2. Play fun drinking games like Two Truths and a Lie or Trivia. These games will allow you and your coworkers to get better acquainted and will lead to more productive relationships in the workplace.
3. Coordinate which alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages you will be drinking! You can create "themes" for your virtual happy hour by suggesting that everyone drinks the same thing. For example
   1. Cocktail show and tell: Everyone crafts their favorite cocktail and describes how to make it and why it is their favorite. This is a good way to learn more about your coworkers and will give you access to new cocktail recipes!
   2. Wine Club: A certain type/brand of wine is agreed upon beforehand, and everyone tries it together on the Zoom call. This is a great way to learn about something new (for some of us) and teach (for the others!)
