Alcohol = frat boys. Ok.

Back in reality it's a very, very common social lubricant, and is a pretty good... Add-on(?) to we-work that attracts people. Alcohol isn't expensive if brought through a distributor, but most people attach a high 'bar' price to it, so see it as an expensive freebie when really it's not.

Just because some people don't drink means we-work is bad? Also not sure if 'wine tasting' screams 'frat boy'....

I've worked in one of these trendy tech companies with a bar. They attract exactly the same kind of employee. Generally a complete bellend twat probably privately schooled and educated on his parent's money with grand delusions about his place in society. If you want to get smashed, there's plenty of pubs near by. No need to enforce your social code on me. I'm here to code.

Same, except our bar is made of plywood and is tacky as hell. It attracts our employees. I'm also here to code but some free drinks while I socialize with my colleagues isn't bad, especially given central London drink prices.
