I've never experienced that from people that don't drink--whatever their reason--but even if I did, I'd prefer it to working with alcoholics and companies that encourage alcoholism. Out of more than a dozen or so places in SF and Silicon Valley I've worked, every single one had booze on premises except for one. One company even had booze on premises despite its parent company explicitly forbidding it (they were fully owned at the time). This bias against people who don't drink is quite great and has even led me and others to have a drink from time to time just to fit in or try to land a job. It's stupidity like this that could be avoided if "cultural fit," "attitude," and other bullshit, unquantifiable, unrelated to job performance reasons of judgement were made illegal like blatant discrimination already is.
