If you think that's strange. I remember work places with all kinds of alcohol, weed and live music.

A friend of mine from Yugoslavia described their lunchroom looking like a grand Caffe with walls full of strong liquor, various kinds of beer on the tap. They started drinking beer at 11 am in the sun in front of the building and kept going till 1-3 am (often talking about work!). He often slept on the sofa and didn't go home for weeks. His boss was always the first to arrive and was happy he wasn't the only one there. Sleeping at work showed a high level of dedication.
