I'm in a workplace where there's definitely a culture of the team going out for 'office drinks' regularly after work. How do you feel about it? Have you ever worked in a place where there's a 'drinking culture?' I work in a city with lots of bars and restaurants. There's definitely a work hard, play hard culture sometimes.
While I enjoy doing it from time to time, sometimes there is definitely a unmentioned pressure to go out to be seen to get in the good books of your colleagues (and boss) to get up in the ranks. The pressure definitely isn't Japanese workplace levels of pressure to go out on the town though.
