Maybe you work for a video game company? I find this standpoint unacceptable in environments that manage PHI PII or anything else involving people's privacy or financials. I get your point about the "I'm mature and experienced enough to know when a beer is appropriate" angle. Maybe I'm old fashioned but my dedication to my work goes beyond things like test coverage it goes into the details of how I conduct myself talk and dress when I'm the clock. I dont want to drive over a bridge or fly on a plane designed by people who dont take a similar level of seriousness to being on the clock. Not to mention beer tastes better when youre not in front of your flatcreen staring at code. Something to be said for being present in the moment.

I agree with you, and I work with people who think similarly. No one is drinking during the day or getting drunk at work even though there is beer in the refrigerator. I was responding directly to the parent comment about seeing people drunk at work. That's completely unacceptable. > I dont want to drive over a bridge or fly on a plane designed by people who dont take a similar level of seriousness to being on the clock. I would be much more worried about lack of sleep leading to issues[1] than if someone had an occasional beer at the end of the day.
