#6 ALCOHOL

Before you say it, I know that employed people like alcohol too. However, unemployed people like it even more. As mentioned previously, unemployed people are unemployed 24 hours a day - which is tiring - and there are no sick days when you are unemployed - you have to be unemployed day in and day out.

But, the minute you crack that beer, sip that martini or uncork that wine, you are on a mini-vacation. Stress goes away. You are funnier. The person standing next to you is better looking. The companies you sent your resume to that morning - they are going to call you back and ask you to interview. Your shoulders relax, the music sounds good, job....what job?

However, it is important to note, unemployed people are notoriously cheap at the bar. So always have the unemployed person buy the first round - then follow up buying the second round.
