I disagree, though living in San Francisco it's hard to remember how unique and relatively narrow the cultural spectrum of this industry and place are. The marriage of drinking and and alpha dominance displays of all kinds, are in my life experience dominant elements in contemporary US culture; they are not even tolerated in some circles. In many places I have lived what they call 'nightlife' is strictly demarcated by space and time. I'd wager this is just one more place where the work / life distinction has become very blurred or has vanished entirely, around here. :/ In any event on the brighter side, we can look forward to the hangover!
