People are better off having positive relationships without alcohol. Going to happy hour, I have seen work colleagues become more chill after a few beers. And then I wonder why they are not like this all the time. Next day, they become stuck up again. And I am proudly happy to be my chill version all the time. This is not a conversation about whether something should be legal. Rather, whether it should be celebrated and exploited for monetary benefits. I think no.

Alcohol and marijuana don't stimulate creativity just because they mitigate stress. And don't quote the Koran at people, no one cares.

  Stress hinders creativity. Certain words are difficult to argue against, An open challenge the Quran makes to anyone who reads it.

> Next day, they become stuck up again. And I am proudly happy to be my chill version all the time. No offense, but judging people and calling them stuck up the way you are doesn't seem chill at all. The culture between humans and alcohol has evolved over thousands of years, it's complex and has positives and negatives. Same with marijuana, although I'd suggest there are fewer negatives to marijuana.

  Not to be in a shouting match, but people who cannot relax can intensify the mood of any room. No relaxed person would be comfortable in one. And while I have noticed the positives of a happy hour, I am saddened to see them in opposite moods. It is unreal. Relationships of balance are complex and difficult. Any person at any time won't react the same as another. Such wildcards cannot be justified.

    Well, I'm all for WFH because it completely erases these kinds of issues. That being said, the level of judgement you're laying against people who partake in happy hour would make most people uncomfortable and would be considered stressful and not relaxing.

      No one is free of judgement. Not when they are drinking. Nor when they avoid it. Not when they are working. Nor when they are relaxed. WFH does not free you of judgement either. And having discussed issues like this before, know I recognize you.
