What if (the company is okay with it) and people want to start taking shots during the day? Or inviting people to happy hours? Or work talk happens after happy hours because everybody on the team is friends and they happen to talk about work at 2am in the middle of a strip club together?

No shit not everybody will be okay with that. But what if it's a company where that's the stated culture and they want to do that? Where is the line? Should nobody ever be allowed to have a company centered around "work hard play hard" where they enjoy having colleagues they can work with and also have a good relationship with after work?

What? No, employers obviously shouldn't be able to force employees to socialize off the clock. No company should have a "stated culture" of requiring employees to drink or go to "strip clubs together". It is a gross violation of the boundaries between the employer and employee. If you want friends to enjoy bacchanalian revelries with, find those friends. Don't pressure your employees into it.

Moreso, are you going to force woman employees to attend these late night sessions? Will you expect muslim or mormon employees to drink? Or are you precommitting to not hiring any of them in the first place?

I also guarantee the dudes who want this would scream bloody murder at the idea of going to a strip club with men as part of the entertainment.

I was thinking mixed. I'm not particular about gender.

I'm too old and conventional, so "men as part of the entertainment" had me only picturing Chippendales. Femboy-hooters is much better.
