You are in for a bad time then my friend as that has nothing to do with WeWork. You just described every professional services firm in the USA (CPAs, Lawyers, and Architects concord by my personal experience) and most likely the culture of most team oriented employers in the United States.

It also turns out that the reason is because that’s what most people do anyway. Remember college? Most people were out drinking to socialize. These companies are jus trying to mimic that but with their employees instead of a group of friends hoping it will case friendships and better team cohesion to form. Also because they had a tough week and want to get smashed in the company dime too.

Great, feel free to go out and socialize. No need to try encourage alcohol - one of the most destructive social drugs in our society - in the workplace. There's plenty of people with drinking problems, recovering and former alcoholics who don't want the awkwardness of it all just because some 22 year old frat boy hasn't grown out of his college beer pong man child phase.
