Not to be in a shouting match, but people who cannot relax can intensify the mood of any room. No relaxed person would be comfortable in one. And while I have noticed the positives of a happy hour, I am saddened to see them in opposite moods. It is unreal.

Relationships of balance are complex and difficult. Any person at any time won't react the same as another. Such wildcards cannot be justified.



Well, I'm all for WFH because it completely erases these kinds of issues.

That being said, the level of judgement you're laying against people who partake in happy hour would make most people uncomfortable and would be considered stressful and not relaxing.


No one is free of judgement. Not when they are drinking. Nor when they avoid it. Not when they are working. Nor when they are relaxed.

WFH does not free you of judgement either. And having discussed issues like this before, know I recognize you.
