I thought the same thing. When I first started work a couple of drinks at lunchtime was considered normal. At my first employers (Borland UK) back in the late 80s we would go out as a team every 2-3 weeks and get drunk at the companies expense (slightly unusual but boozy "work" lunches and not going back to the office was still a possibility then). These days I can't cope with that (my code turns to crap and I want to have a quick nap) but I do like offices were there is a culture of the company paying for a few drinks (Friday afternoons?)
