The argument for work events that involve drinking is that it lowers barriers and helps people become friends but I think the assumption to challenge here is that being friends with your coworkers is practical or even desirable.

Your friends are one group of people selected for social compatibility with you. Your co-workers are a different group of people selected by their professional qualifications. There is overlap to be sure but the two groups are not the same and trying to force them to be is bad.

Either you end up with some co-workers friends and some feeling excluded, or you only hire people who are also socially compatible with you and both of those are known patterns for exclusion and poor performing teams.

Just let go of the idea that you have to be friends with your co-workers. Have delightful, pleasant, professional interactions all day and then go home at 5pm and hang out with your friends. It's great.

Why are sodas worse than alcohol? And why does eliminating alcohol mean pizza?

I got sober a year ago which has been excellent for me personally. Before that drinking was a big part of socializing at many of my jobs. It was very normal for us to grab beers after work, vent, talk about product and tech. It helped relieve of some of work anxiety.

Without realizing it though we were cutting out other people from the team in these informal team “meetings”. There was a drinking crowd and a not drinking crowd. Now when my current team goes to bars I skip out because I can’t be in bars anymore.

I'm happy to see the needle move over the years in FOSS communities. GitHub stopped doing their famous "drinkups" after they got negative feedback, conferences started putting the free alcohol budget to zero.
