I have my own hobbies and friends to do them with. I prefer to get my work done, then leave and go do my own stuff.
I don't necessarily mind beer and video games being available at work, but listing them on a job posting is a red flag that the company wants people with no social life, willing to work long hours for relatively low pay.
It's also a red flag that you may be working with people who consider beer and video games a perk...

Fair point, because I am all of those things. If people like me struggling to make a place for themselves in this world are a red flag... I'm not even remotely apologetic.

I didn't mean it as an insult, but I guess I phrased it poorly. Calling out non-work stuff like beer and video games in a job posting promotes monoculture.
