Most programming is nothing like operating heavy machinery or heart surgery, there's no reason not to have beer on tap. Working conditions have been improving greatly over the last century. I for one welcome a bit of pampering.
Small doses of alcohol actually improve mood and cognitive performance[1]. Athletic too but that's less relevant.
If some people like it, let them have it. What happened to "live and let live"? If some people like more frat-like atmosphere, why not let them gravitate towards those places?

- mathattack 13y agoEveryone is different here. I used to work in Paris periodically, and it did work well there. People never got drunk, but frequently had wine for lunch. Then I worked in Australia. You knew better than to try and get a serious question answered on a Friday afternoon. I personally find that I get tired with alcohol, and while my creativity may go up, my focus goes down. As such, I don't like alcohol at lunch, but that's a personal choice.
