Detroit car execs from the 1940s. Ribeye and six-martini lunches every day. Drunk and reckless driving galore, above-the-law behavior six days a week. Mindless corporate crony bores with no inner life. I have no reason to believe Mad Men was lying about any of that stuff.

Maybe a little exaggerated.

I’m sure it happened, just probably not as constantly as portrayed.

Perhaps only 4 days a week.
