Hell if you worked at a startup, you and your boss might have both gotten drunk at the office together after raiding the "fully-stocked beer cooler". The in-office beer was part of the recruitment strategy of the company after all. Bottoms-up!
I'm a beer-drinker but I still find it astonishing that some startups are providing an addictive and risky drug to employees as a perk.

- microcolonel 9y agoBeer is wonderful after a day of hard work, it is addictive to alcoholics, and risky in large doses. I prefer to buy it myself though, I don't really approve of these things as company perks, since you know it is really meant to bargain down salaries.
- zenlikethat 9y agoThat certainly does happen a lot but in cases where people are paid fairly having free (good) booze available for responsible drinking is also pretty great.
- microcolonel 9y ago> (good) Heheh, yeah, that's the other hard part. I've seen it go two bad directions. On one side, the cheapskates buy the beer, and they buy the stuff that's expensive enough to get something better, but which is not refreshing to nurse one or two of after some crunch time work. On the other side, the beer snobs take hold, and most of the beer becomes too bitter or too sour for most people's tastes, and again not very refreshing.
