That type of "work hard play hard" is a pretty common pattern at universities in the US. Not necessarily all the time, but a couple times a week it can be awesome. The big caveat obviously is you have to be the usually extroverted type of person who likes to go out and get rowdy with your friends.

Yes, but usually we assume that you stop doing that for your health's sake after you finish school.

And I doubt that a lot of people consider it healthy even then.

Some areas of finance in the US adhere to this as well.

Sure, but when you consider that mental and physical health are intertwined, I'd expect to see more of an effect.
