No but introducing a 'no open bars' policy would contribute further to exclusion. We can have open bars with non-alcoholic drinks and not go about saying one academic culture is 'better' than another for demonising drinking. One can find it preferable but 'better' I object to
My whole university moved seminars away from the ability to go to the pub afterwards as part of a drive towards being more family-friendly. Pub time overlaps, in their opinion, too much with picking-up kids time and thus they believe their move promotes inclusivity of mothers.

Is this something considered here in your pro-pub opinions or do you two (Tiff and and Lewis) actually think my university is being classist? Again, genuine question, I want to know your thoughts.

Socialising doesn’t have to be tied to seminars?

In my field, it really is. You have a talk/seminar then you have the drinks. But that is being phased out at my institution and where they can. I have a feeling some seminars are outside their control.
