This might be a reference to the Japanese concept called Nomikai, an incredibly common practice where workers go out drinking with their boss. For some workplaces, this can be a worker's only shot to impress their boss or get their attention.

You're exactly right about my intentions for this post. I'm trying to make memes that are less centered the U.S.
Very similar concept in Korea. I got a job offer there after a three month project I did as a PhD student, and at some point realised it was mostly because I was a good after-work drinker. Which of course was easy, as the only people I knew there were from work, and I knew it was for a limited time. Keeping that up long term? No chance.
I drink because of the damn job. I don’t want to drink with the boss.
We don't have that culture here, thank God. I want nothing to do with my boss after the working day is over.
Sometimes having lunch with him but it's so annoying to see how he is sucking up to other people in the company.....
Oh man, the drinking culture at my office before remote work was out of control. Not that I minded it much as a total boozehound. It is rather telling though that it started to fade once the bar across the street closed and I went sober.
I love our office happy hours. But I also like my company and my team.
There are some really delicious non-alcoholic ginger beers.
Getting drunk is the point of the ordeal. Nobody drinks alcohol because of the taste (no, you don't, whiskey nerd who will inevitably jerk his misguided manliness into the comments).
Look, I'm an "advanced" drinker, I have a bar stocked with high quality or exotic liqueurs, if I have a beer it's either an IPA or a nice Belgian, and I make kick ass cocktails (classics or modern) that I could probably sell for 20€ a pop in a city center.
Still, all of that is just excuses so I can drink without looking like a bottom of the barrel alcoholic lmao. Sure I can and do enjoy the taste but still the reason to drink it is for that sweet sweet ethanol.
I do like having a beer for dinner sometimes. Just one. When I don't feel like getting drunk otherwise. It just fits the food and is tasty.
But yes, if I go out drinking, I drink because Ethanol.
Somebody never had a Châteauneuf du Pape, clearly
Say no. I do.
