I've worked at a couple of startups staffed with younger people that encouraged drinking onsite - in one example they even provided the beer and liquor for "Wind Down Fridays". Shortly after I came aboard that particular place they had to put some restrictions on it, as people had been inviting friends to join in, and others were found passed out in stairwells and in the lounge. It was like living in a frat house. I barely lasted three months in that toxic, cult-like environment because I am not a big drinker and I'm more interested in doing good work than pounding back brewskis with the bros. I just didn't fit in and knew I never would. I'd say there is a serious problem out there.
