There’s a culture of no works drinks here, partly because it’s a campus site so most people drive. Most of my colleagues are really dull anyway. When I worked and lived near Croydon (and when I was younger and my liver could handle it) I used to get drunk regularly with my colleagues though.
But to answer the original question, these days I wouldn’t even go to work drinks when I’m in work, let alone travel forty miles out of my way for them.
