What other social setting are you proposing?

  They're not, that's the problem. They're saying "well some people are alcoholics, and some people have kids, so if you want to go to a bar or restaurant after work you're excluding people and that's literally the worst thing in the world." If you have kids, you will be busier and you will miss events like a work happy hour. That's pretty much a fact of life and I don't know many parents who would have it any other way. Likewise, work isn't a computer program where you can just do "cool work problems" and get promoted. It's social. If you're anti-social, you can expect to reach the top of your career progression sooner than folks who are capable of being friendly, having a beer, and calling it a night.
