You lose the one huge opportunity in adult life for making new relationships - and that's at work, in the office. I think the usual expression here is don't shit where you eat. In other words it might serve you well to forge social relationships separately from working relationships. It's tended to work for me, I'm married, work from home and I haven't had any unfortunate episodes at a work Christmas party. But whatever works for you, I don't think we have to, or even should, all go the same way on this.
