Maybe in Belgium or in other countries with a "beer culture" like Germany, not hard to believe but not widespread anyway. Just to add another data point, when i worked for an US multinational in Italy i clearly remember there was a rule against introducing alcoholics in the workplace, each place has its rules. My point was just that in Europe drinking on the workplace isn't common or usually allowed and, at least from where i come from, i don't feel people in general are complaining about the lack of alcohol in the office. Finding beer and wine in the canteen, just for lunch, is instead quite common.
