I totally agree with you, you never know who you might run into at any time of day. I like to think of myself of a brand and the way I act reflects my brands values. When someone knows that you work for a certain company you are reflecting your companys brand as well. Imagine running into a client that you have a great relationship at a bar and you are plastered out of your mind. Even though the relationship is good the next time you meet he/she is going to have that in the back of their mind.
