> 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.
