- neuromantik8086 8y agoScientific / conference culture has a somewhat concerning relationship with alcohol, which was a contributing factor to my ultimately leaving science. The amount of pressure to go out to a pub with your colleagues was much higher for me than it was in my current job, in large part because serious discussions and informal deals that could directly impact your academic career tend to happen in these sorts of contexts. I suspected that a lot of my co-workers in science were high functioning alcoholics.
