It's possible for there to be no systemic inclusion problem and alcohol creates inclusion problems.
- alkibiades 8y agoi guess i’m not sure what the solution is. are we not supposed to drink? Any hobby or activity that not everyone participates in has the potential to be non inclusive. At my last work a lot of people loved camping but i didn’t. Should i stop them from camping because they might make social bonds that aren’t available to me?

- n4r9 8y agoI think the onus is on the company to pro-actively organise social events which don't centre on drinking.
- alkibiades 8y agobut some people are introverts. so it’s not very inclusive to have any event as an extrovert would be more likely to go and make connections and introverts would be discriminated. maybe we should ban all events
- squirrelicus 8y agoClearly the reasonable thing to do is stop trying to be infinitely inclusive.
- squirrelicus 8y agoI don't know. I'd never considered this subject before the OP posted it. I'm a husband and father, and I respect my family, and I have friends outside of work, so one of the last things I would ever want to do is drink at work or after hours with my coworkers. Feels like a non issue, a consequence of working with too many manchildren. If you don't like the brodrinking then don't be friends with them and find a better job.
