I’d be curious where you’re working because this definitely isn’t true in the UK (Friday afternoon pints at work are customary), nor in France (most canteens stock wine for lunch). And in Germany, at least in academia, having a drink in the afternoon at work is also often acceptable.

In Germany all the companies I've worked in have a strict no-alcohol policy. But it's relatively recent (~10-15 years).

I work in mid-sized Berlin startup. At least among startups, beer, and sometimes wine, in the fridge is completely normal.

Where I work it‘s not regularly consumed with lunch (kein Bier vor Vier applies) but it does happen on occasion.
