Do startups have a drinking problem?

I don't work at vegan companies, or non-profits, their cultures aren't compatible with me. However, I wouldn't go around saying they have a "smug problem" that's their culture and their welcome to it, the moment I want to work at those cultures I'll either accept the conflict or do as the Romans do.

What is assholish is to insist that everyone else change what they enjoy just because you don't like it.

Who are you responding to? I can't see where anyone is insisting that everyone else should change.

Generally when highlighting problems, you want them to change...

I mean who is like "Oh you have a drinking problem, just keep drinking, it's fine, I dunno why I even brought it up"

I've been around alcoholics, one night I bought a case of beer and had a couple beers while coding, then I got a talk from my girlfriend in AA about how drinking alone is a sign of alcoholism.

Startups don't have a drinking problem, alcoholics have a self-control problem.

It is not a self control problem.

Addiction is a disease.
