> "go out for a drink"-ness (gulp, and what does that say about age)
This reminds me: I think I've yet to see a tech company where the default assumption is that you're a teetotaler. Why do y'all SV-ites insist on taking me out to consume (legal) mind-altering drugs?
A useful comparison might be made with marijuana (where it is legal). It's not everyone's thing, and people should not assume it is, and instead design social events so both those who indulge and those who don't can usefully interact.
I don't care what's in your drink: caffeine, alcohol, ice, fruit, water, whatever. I mean, can we sit together as humans around the ancient trust building ritual of food/drink.
