1. Alcohol has long been a staple of workplace culture. In some industries, post-shift pints to unwind are par for the course; in others, drinking is woven into the fabric of the work itself, with client relationships built over boozy lunches and dinners.

2. In almost all spheres of life, regular alcohol consumption has been institutionalised, and even encouraged: itβs embedded in rites of passage, such as college and university; and carries through to the workplace as a bonding ritual, morale booster and stress reliever. Hosting meetings at bars and restaurants with drinks flowing is even part of some companiesβ business strategy.

3. Yet, as central as drinking is to workplace socialisation and strategy, there are signs that some companies are re-thinking the role of alcohol in professional settings.

4. And plenty of people want things to change β one UK survey of more than 2,000 working adults revealed 43% of respondents say thereβs too much pressure to drink when socialising with work colleagues, and 53% would like there to be less pressure to do so.

5. There is evidence, however, that workplace culture is evolving away from a focus on alcohol. Throughout the past few years, for instance, large companies including Salesforce, Uber and Jet made moves to reduce or completely ban alcohol in the workplace.
