I certainly drank my fair share haha, but it was often after working until 10pm. I'm referring more to the 4pm-10pm window you'd normally (I assume) be picking the kids up from school, making them dinner, berating them for not having completed their homework, and so on.

In my 20s, I was often doing that because I find programming inherently enjoyable. That it also pays extraordinarily well when done professionally is a convenient but unrelated fact.
Why would I pull an all-nighter playing a video game? Same reason except for the well-paid part.
