- Junk_Collector 8y agoDrinking at conferences is incredibly common in the US both for industry and Academia. I've never seen anyone pressured to do so though and there is almost always at least someone who isn't drinking there. Drinking at government conferences is more rare, at least during the official parts, because they have a policy against paying for alcohol in most (but not all) situations. People often meet up for drinks afterwards in smaller groups at the hotel bar or local watering hole.
