I honestly think no drinking, no dating should not be on that list. This sounds like a married 40+ year old who's forgotten what it's like to be 20-30 (and I must admit I'm starting to forget!). It's so easy to forget that's simply not how the world works at that age and this debate is not the place to start proselytizing middle-aged parent morality that you definitely didn't have when you were 25. You even mention university. Is college sexist then? Do we need to protect women at university from all those drunk, lecherous men? Enforce a no dating rule at university? Women can't be equals if you refuse to treat them as equals.

> Do we need to protect women at university from all those drunk, lecherous men? Perhaps this is not your point, but the answer to this question is emphatically: Yes, women (and men) everywhere have a right to personal safety. I agree that a no-dating rule does not achieve this, but drinking culture at a workplace is just not a good idea. You can drink on your own time, with the money you get paid to make your own decisions with, without dressing that up as a work social event which employees feel obliged to attend.

  Again you're moralizing it, all you're doing advocating prohibition. Drinking is a common social activity. Stop being so judgemental and deal with reality.
