Today, I got promoted to a management position. After work, I went for a drink with my co-manager and a few of our colleagues, where they discussed their plans to take Ecstasy before/during our work Christmas party. Wonderful. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I didn't get promoted, but the guy who showed up to work drunk a few weeks ago did. FML
Today, it was the first day after my promotion. Everyone, including myself, was shocked that I was promoted so quickly. I figured it was because of all the hard work and overtime I'd put in. However, my coworkers figure I'm just sleeping with the boss, and constantly glare and snicker behind my back. FML
Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his boss. FML
Today, I was promoted. I got advice throughout the day from all of management on what I'm supposed to do first thing everyday. Not one was the same as the other. FML
Today, I got married and I'd invited everyone from work including my boss. His way of congratulating me was to mention that I'm out of a job. He said it was a good time to do it because he thought I would be too happy or too drunk to care. FML
Today, I got drunk enough to do cartwheels at a company party. In a dress. I work in HR, can’t land a cartwheel, or handle my alcohol. FML
Today, my friends took me out to the most expensive restaurant in town to celebrate my promotion, we ordered everything with expensive drinks too. They 'took a smoke break' and left me with the bill. FML
Today, after my work's Christmas party, everyone got so drunk that I had to help one of my only sober co-workers take everyone home and clean up vomit. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML

Not much you can do about that - reporting them based on a conversation won't achieve anything and you'll just be hated.

You should talk them out of it! Say it's bad for you! Never take drugs!

It's their life, you're encouraging control freak behavior. Also as someone pointed out "drugs are bad" is just silly. They all have pros and cons, and while ecstasy probably has more cons than pros, to lump in everything else in the same category isn't exactly rational. Anti-inflammatories do more good than bad, for example.

Meh, I wouldn't say that's too bad. read up on how it works and control them. after the party, let them know that this behaviour will not be tolerated in the future.

It's not too bad? I think you should read up on it. They could die taking just one.

If it's a hard pill don't join them. If it's crystals in a capsule go ahead if you want to. But don't let anyone pressure you into doing anything.

Because doing any sort of illicit drugs right after being promoted to a higher position is *such* a great idea...

A chemical testing kit is the only reliable way to know what you're getting into actually. Multiple drugs come in a "crystal" form and literally anything can be put into a press pill.

Here's hoping this was a prank to welcome you to management. Either way, you're still better off than if you had to collect a stool specimen in your hand.

Just let them know you won't be their baby sitter or take any responsibility for them, and let them make asses of themselves. It's annoying but it's best for you to just let them, cause you gotta work with them.

"So what do your Christmas ecstasy plans look like?" "I plan on taking none." "And you?" "None as well." "Righto, how about you, Mrs. Recent Promotion?" "Uh, also none…" "Excellent! It's settled: we'll all take no ecstasy together! I can barely contain my excitement!"

Talk about Roofies in a Bill Cosby voice. They'll leave you alone after that.
