I live in one red state and work in a different red state and I've managed to find jobs where the people with lovely politics at least keep their mouths shut so it's definitely possible, don't give up

at oldjob they had a fridge full of beer. when i got there, people would sometimes have one after five or so. by the time i left, nobody ever drank the beer. you were also not allowed to have a beer at lunch, even if you were eating at a restaurant or whatever. nobody really _listened_ to that, but apparently the sales dudes were getting wasted and made fools of themselves in front of some C-levels or board members or whatever. i do not understand why the response was "nobody drinks reasonably" rather than "fire the morons getting drunk at work, and continue doing this until there is no longer a problem" but welp google had a handful of kegs in the kitchen downstairs from where i used to work and a bunch of liquor bottles in my team area. i never saw anyone drink to excess or anything like that, though. for all the booze that was _around_, people only drank it very occasionally. which was really nice - if you wanted a beer there it was, everyone expected that you'd act like an adult. but also there was no expectation that people _would_ be drinking. now my team is in a different building, idk if the kegs are moving with them or what (our team was responsible for pointing the relevant vendors at the area, ordering, etc). but i'm perma-remote so

you have a salespeeps doing 5% of the sales of the whole company w a book of business closely held by them to match, and you got an employee who has serious leverage against the company, same as the greybeard toucher in the corner who's the single point of failure for half the prod systems

that was also the company where some salesbro went to take a dump and left his 9mm on the back of the toilet. the company's attorney was the next person in the bathroom. dude was not fired, amazingly.

I was also wondering if there were legal issues with a company “allowing” an employee to drink to excess on free company alcohol on company property.

One of my old companies spent 10 years having dry xmas parties after an incident that I could only after many years of casual sleuthing suss out as "two employees banging in a supply closet" Seems like one of the tamer results tbh

my office has beer and wine around and people will gather for some at the end of the week. used to be much more common before covid obviously. once i left the office happy hour at like 6, went and got good and drunk with a pal of mine, then returned to the office to pick up my bag at like 10:30, and found two of my coworkers still there sippin brews and shooting the poo poo lol

in 2010 i worked at a place that had a bar fridge but it was only for fridays after lunch and locked the rest of the time. since then my jobs are a lot more dry. my current job there's no drinking outside of the annual summer party and xmas party (where we each get two drink tickets for after dinner drinking along with a taxi chit). if you do a company lunch and want a beer, you're on your own, and if you get sloshed you can expect to get a reprimand or worse but it virtually never happens anyway.
