Banks (where people type on keyboards most of the time) are also AFAIK alcohol-free.
And so are Lawyers firms, accountants, and more or less every kind of work involving mostly typing, exception made for some start-ups, possibly limited to the US.
A glass of wine or beer at lunch may of course be OK, but surely not drinking in the office or happy hours.
- Falling3 9y agoWhat's the distinction you're drawing between having a drink at lunch and having an office happy hour? The latter certainly seems preferable if we're forced to choose since the workday is essentially over at that point.

- plandis 9y agoI'd rather drink after I'm done with work at a happy hour than drink during lunch and have to work the rest of day. From a job performance perspective the happy hour seems better anyways.
- santaclaus 9y ago> Banks (where people type on keyboards most of the time) are also AFAIK alcohol-free. As in, the places you drive up to deposit checks? I have friends who in finance (for banks) and there is a very strong drinking culture at work.
- Noted 9y agoI know several law firms which have happy hours in the office.
