As someone who never has drunk, it's fine. You just drink fizzy water, diet coke and free food or whatever and nobody gives a shit. It's a work happy hour, nobody should be getting drunk and nobody notices.

It excludes people who have very good reasons to not be around alcohol, and not people who just don't like it.

It excludes people like me who can't stand the idiot actions I see once people get drunk. And often once drunk they try to force me to drink with them. I had on more than one occasion used force to stop someone trying to force a drink onto me.

Worse, later they claim they would never do such a thing.

I mean, I think most people do like to drink? Am I wrong?

I know I like to drink.

Most people around you might.

There are people who don't like to drink and there are people who are not allowed to drink due to their believe/health problem. And they are not minority-minority in some places

YES! You are thinking the whole world is the same as your location.

It's not even that. American work drinking culture is just not up to par. You're expected to pound coffee all day then go and drink on an empty stomach at 5 before you've eaten dinner. It's just not realistic.

Heaven forbid my first meal of the day is lunch and not breakfast.

People who have "normal" eating habits just can't understand.
