Always amazing to me...
This wouldn't even be debateable outside of this industry. However, there will always be those at shows who want to "live the life" as part of playing this game.
This is way out of bounds for me. I cant imagine ever hiring anyone who I could even imagine representing my company at a trade show and behaving in this manner. With that in mind, if he did, he's a fired ass because I obviously misjudged his character.
I would also say that I'm not about to send a kid who I know is unlikely to have been exposed to the level of partying this industry can do, and may not be able to hold his liquor, to a show without someone to stick to him like glue and mentor him a bit. There is some management responsibility as well as personal responsibility.
