I dunno, If i saw someone drinking Budweiser I'd be quite judgmental.

ahem, in all seriousness, in my part of the world Drinking is a huge part of the working and business culture. Does that apply in the US too? I work with some partners who pride themselves on getting you the most drunk they can

It does, but not as much as most every other culture. I've worked places where 2/3 or more of the employees would go out drinking 2+ nights a week and others where you'd think everyone was a recovering alcoholic.

I'd imagine positions that require a lot of networking and personal contacts (sales, Executive positions) would have more of this than your regular Joe grunt programmer.

Yea. In the UK this week I have 4 work related drink orientated engagements. Poor liver.
