Oolong highball sounds like a Long Island Iced Tea variation.
A long island iced tea actually doesn't have tea in it. However, the oolong highball does, and it's a lot weaker: typically, it's made with shochu (a rice liquor, the Japanese soju) and iced oolong tea, and isn't much stronger than beer.

I've seen sillier in manga--people getting dead drunk from a liqueur chocolate, and I'm pretty sure I've even seen a case or two of people getting drunk just from the smell. This is sort of normal level manga-silly-lightweight.

Even if I'm good with alcohol, I wouldn't risk drinking in front of coworkers for reasons like this.

Yeah, contact buzz only works with pot, not alcohol.

Technically (to be THAT guy) shochu can be made from many different distillates, not just rice. Rice, barley (I've had Ichiiko 100% barley), and sweet potato to name a few. In that way it is sort of like Japanese vodka except that you WANT the base taste to come through which is why it's only distilled once or twice. What all of these have in common though is that they are fermented not with yeast but with the same mold that saki is fermented with.

Living in Phoenix there are a few different Soju varieties available but the only Shochu that I've found is Ichiiko and the local Total Wine doesn't seem to have even the empty space on the shelf for it any more. Right now my wife and I are finishing a Jinro Original Soju bottle.

Japanese culture. It appears from this outsider's viewpoint that it is expected that you drink with coworkers unless is a really good reason why you can't.
